People of Ugbene-Ajima community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, yesterday, said they have seen a great light under Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration after living in darkness prior to the inception of the current government.

The elated people, led by their leaders of thought, traditional rulers, and representatives of the women and youth groups, made the assertion when they visited Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, to thank him for infrastructural projects in the community as well as human capital development, after decades of neglect. 

They expressed gratitude to the governor for the construction and asphalting of the 26.665km Ukpabi/Nimbo/Ugbene-Ajima/Eziani access road, disclosing that “it is the construction of this road that enabled our people to see a great light.”

President, Ugbene-Ajima Federated Union, Romanus Ezike, said the benefits of the road to the people cannot be quantified and thanked Ugwuanyi for making it possible for them to see a great light after living in darkness. 

“Today is remarkable in the history of the people of Ugbene-Ajima community because it marks the actualisation of our efforts to thank the governor for making it possible for our people that lived in darkness before the government of Ugwuanyi to see a great light,” he said.

The community also thanked Ugwuanyi for the approval of Akibite-Agu Autonomous Community, Ugbene-Ajima and presentation of Staff of Office to Romanus Eze.
