The wife of the Governor of Abia State, Mrs. Priscilla Otti has call on well to do Abians to embrace the spirit of community service and philanthropy.
Mrs. Otti made the call during the commissioning of 1 km road reconstructed by the Chief Executive Officer of Nepal Energy, Barrister Ngozi Ekeoma.
The asphalted road at Girls Secondary School, Ibinaukwu Igbere in Bende Local Government Area was also installed with street powered solar light in line with the infrastructural vision of Governor Alex Otti.
Mrs. Otti expressed her gratitude to Barr. Ekeoma for her remarkable generosity and commitment to Abia’s development adding that the road is more than just a piece of infrastructure; it represents hope, progress and the boundless potentials of our great State.
“As we gather here today, we celebrate not only the completion of this road but also the spirit of philanthropy and community service that inspired it”.
In her speech, Barr. Ngozi Ekeoma expressed her gratitude to the First Lady of Abia State for being a shining light and supporting her to contribute to the development of her community.
She said she was prompted to construct the road by the difficulties they encounter accessing the road during their festival period.
Ekeoma however appeals to those who are able to contribute in community development to do so.
“You do not have to be super rich to make an impact, just have the heart to do good and the society will be better off,” she said.
Also speaking, Eze Uwakwe Ukaegbu, the President General of Ibinaukwu community, Awara Okorie and the women leader of Ibinaukwu community all poured encomium on Barr. Ngozi Ekeoma playing an integral part in the community development.
“It is an act of goodwill and of great support not only to the school but to the entire community, we say kudos to her resilience,” they said.
Meanwhile, the school principal, Mrs. Ogbonnaya Ngozi, could not hide her joy.
She extolled Barr. Ngozi Ekeoma for her kind gesture towards the school.
However, she highlighted the challenges of the school to include dilapidated library and examination hall of the school, fallen perimeter fencing and inadequate sports facilities.
