#Commends Gov Nwifuru For Awarding the project
By Dave Ukah
The Special Assistant to the Ebonyi State Governor on Internal Security, Ivo Local Government Area, Hon Ike Cletus Ngah has debunked alleged claim in some quarters that the Ike-River- Amaeke Bridge/Road project is a Constituency project of any Federal or State Legislator from the area.
Hon Ike Cletus in a statement signed by him and made available to journalists in Abakaliki expressed concern over the claim and maintained that it has become imperative to categorically state that the project is an entirely a state government project alone.
"Success they say have many relatives, only failure is a barren. No wonder why some people are laying claims to these laudable projects which were graciously approved by our wonder working Governor.
"It has therefore become imperative to categorically state that this is an entirely a state government project alone. It’s not a Constituency project of any Federal or State Legislator.
"I sincerely recommend that rather than claim this project as a personal Constituency project, any Legislator who wishes to cite a constituency project in Ivo or elsewhere has a lot of projects to choose from.
"There are many projects begging for attention in Ivo, therefore, it is needless taking the glory of another project which is singlehandedly sponsored by the State Government under the leadership of Rt Hon Francis Nwifuru.
Recounting the circumstances leading to the approval of the project by the State Governor, Hon Ike Cletus said that he had before now solicited with the President of Ishiagu Community Development Union- Architect Moses Aja to initiate a memo to the Governor, on behalf of the Union, on the deplorable condition of the Amaeke bridge requesting the intervention of the Governor.
"But in line with the Governor's love for Ivo people and his avowed commitment to implementing the People’s Charter of Needs agenda, the Governor expeditiously minuted the memo to the Commissioner of Infrastructure for the measurements and design of the projects.
He commended the State Governor for approving the project which he said will impact positively to the lives and wellbeing of the people of the area adding that the project when completed will boast agricultural production and help in the movement of agricultural produce from the farms to the market.
'I Ike Cletus Ngah, the Special Assistant to the Ebonyi State Governor on Internal Security, Ivo local Government Area heartily appreciates my boss and destiny helper Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru for graciously approving the construction of the all-important Ike-River, Amaeke 3 span bridge with 2 box culverts and the 4km, Ike -River Amaeke road all in Ivo local government area of Ebonyi state.
Hon Ike Cletus also commended the former Senate President of Nigeria and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim for the indispensable role he played towards the actualization of the lofty project.
"Anyim Pius Anyim undoubtedly is a metaphor for all-round development in Ivo local government area and indeed the entire Ebonyi state having reached the highest echelon of leadership in Nigeria.
"We are very grateful for your fatherly role, guidance, mentorship and selfless services to humanity.
"As the highest political office holder from the Amaeke-Ishiagu autonomous community who have also served as the ICDU President and the Coordinator of Echiele Development Centre, I know the importance of these projects to our people.
"I therefore consider this project as a personal honour done to me by the State Governor and I sincerely promise to make all necessary sacrifices to ensure that the project is seamlessly done.
"Governor Nwifuru have wiped out the tears caused by the neglect of the Ike River bridge and its access roads by successive administrations in the state despite its strategic importance.
He also appreciated the Executives and Members of the Ishiagu Community Development Union led by Architect Moses Aja for heeding to the modest counsel by investing their time and resources towards the actualization of the projects. Ends.
