Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State
has reiterated his administration’s resolve to give priority attention to rural
development where majority of the people reside.
Addressing members of a delegation
from Mburubu, Nkanu East local government area of the state who were at the
Government House, Enugu
on a thank you visit, Governor Ugwuanyi disclosed that his administration has
identified some local council areas for intervention due to peculiar challenges
of dearth of infrastructure like in the case of
Nkanu East, Awgu and Uzo-Uwani areas.
The governor told members of
the delegation led by the Permanent Secretary, Civil Service Commission, Enugu, Mr. Patrick Onuh,
that the decision to concentrate development in the rural areas became
imperative because there were urgent need to uplift the level of development at
the grassroots.
He urged them to continue to
offer special prayers for improvement in the revenue of the state so that
government will be able to attend to their needs, adding that it was as a
result of lack of link road network from Amechi Idodo to Amagunze, the
headquarter of Nkanu East Local Government Area that his administration decided
to reconstruct the all important Inyaba
bridge in the area.
The governor who enjoined the
people of the area to remain committed and support his administration to
succeed, assured them that in spite of the economic hardship, the government
would continue to attend to their needs.
