10 communities get free transformers in Abia
About 10
communities in Abia State have benefited from the distribution of
electric transformers and accessories worth N35 million under the
constituency project of Stanley Ohajuruka — a member of the House of
Representatives.
The News Agency of
Nigeria reports that the projects contained in the 2009 National Budget
were jointly executive by the Federal Ministry of Mines and Power and
the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Enugu zone. The benefiting
communities drawn from Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency include:
Amakama, Ihiteude Ofeme, Mgboko Nkwoegwu, Isiadu Ibeku, Ihim Ibere,
Ndagbo Isiama, Okwulaga Afaraukwu and Ohokobe Ndume, Isingwu Ohuhu and
Umuobasi. Ohajuruka.
The member representing the area in the House, who is also a
gubernatorial aspirant with the PPA, stated that he attracted the
projects owing to the “backwardness of the areas in infrastructural
development.” He said that gesture represented what he would replicate
in the entire state if elected governor.
Why been so concentrated in Umuahia? Those places mentioned are even villages not communities. Are these villages the only ones that need transformers in Abia State as a whole. This is nothing but favouritism and nepotism.
