“I am deeply committed to ensuring that I secure jobs for graduates in my zone and also to engage youths on various skills acquisition programme and training.“We do so because it is good we teach our youths how to catch fishes instead of giving them fish. When our youths are engaged, crimes and criminality will be reduced at barest minimum.
“Even as we do that, I am mindful of the need for peace and unity in my zone. That was why I hosted all stakeholders of Ebonyi Central during the Christmas period. I also used the occasion to share palliatives and funds to my people. It was the first of its kind.”
He added: “I am happy to inform you that the deplorable Amagunze-Ezzagu-Isu federal road was captured in the 2024 budget. The design of the road has been completed and very soon, work will commence on the road.
“In the few months, we will start construction of roads, installation of solar street lights and drilling of borehole in the four local government areas of the zone.”
He also urged the residents of the zone to assist and back Chief Francis Nwifuru, the state governor, in his unwavering commitment to changing the state.
