The member representing Igbo Eze North constituency I in Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Ejike Eze on Thursday, solved the age-long problem facing Amube community in Umuozzi ward 4 by providing various tents for them in their market.
Hon. Eze who’s also the Chief Whip of the State Assembly while handing over the project to the elated community on Thursday, said this is in fulfillment of one of the promises made to them during his campaign.
“I still remember vividly that on the 21st of October 2023, i promised the people of Amube, the inhabitants of ancestral home of great Enugu Ezikeoba that i would build tents for them in the proposed new Afọr Amube to give the traders shelter from the unavoidable scorching sun and drenching rain fall.
“My promise isn’t a mare statement and I assure you that we’re just getting started and I assure you of people oriented representation anchored on the welfare of the people.”
He encouraged them to take care of the market so it can continue to “grow from strength to strength and metamorphose into Afor Ezike because Amube remains the heart of Enugu Ezike.”
To demonstrate his support for the traders, the lawmaker gifted the sum of ₦30,000 to support 25 women who have existing small businesses in the market.
Hon. Eze also appreciated the people of Amube which includes the elders in council, eldest woman (ede), women, youths and children, for coming out to witness welcome him and his team for the the project commissioning.
The elders in council and the women especially the beneficiaries who couldn’t hide their joy, said they’ve never seen anything of such that a politician will come back to honour his promise after winning election and prayed to Almighty God to bless him for his unprecedented kind gesture.
