Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State yesterday evening visited Eha Amufu to obtain first-hand information about the issues that led to the recent crisis in Aguamaede and Mgbuji communities.
The governor went straight to the community on arrival at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
Ugwuanyi, accompanied by the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Ammani; the Garrison Commander, 82 Division of the Nigerian Army, Brig. Gen. M.K Ibrahim; and the Anglican Bishop of Nike Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Christian Onyeka Onyia, visited Mgbuji community, different forests, markets, village squares and other locations in Eha Amufu where he interacted with the indigenes to ascertain the remote cause of the recent crisis in the community with a view to addressing the lingering issues in the area decisively.
The governor empathised with the people, ascertained how they were faring, and assured them of his administration’s commitment to their safety and wellbeing, as well as the resolution of the crisis between farmers and herders.
The Eha Amufu indigenes appreciated Ugwuanyi for the rare visit, especially at night, stressing that the gesture was a demonstration of his commitment to ending farmers/herders issues in Eha Amufu.
