The Mayor of Idemili South Local Government Area, Hon. Amaka Obi has flagged off the construction of a
one-kilometre road in Ogunzele, further advancing infrastructure development in the council area through the Public Private Community Partnership (PPCP) initiative championed by the Anambra State Government.
The project, sponsored by the Ezesinachi of Awka-Etiti, Chief Okey Offor, underscores the growing success of the PPCP model in attracting private sector participation to community development.
Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, Hon. Amaka Obi expressed satisfaction with the positive impact of the initiative across communities in Idemili South. She commended Chief Offor for embracing Governor Chukwuma Soludo's "Think Home" philosophy and investing in the development of his community.
The mayor called on other stakeholders, philanthropists, and well-meaning individuals to emulate the gesture by supporting projects that improve the lives of residents and accelerate grassroots development.
She noted that upon completion, the road would significantly enhance transportation, facilitate commercial activities, and open up the area to greater economic opportunities. She also urged the contractor handling the project to ensure quality execution and timely delivery within the four-month completion period.
Representing Royal Akos Construction Company Limited, the contractor, Engineer Obinna Akolonye, assured residents that construction work would commence immediately and pledged to deliver a durable and standard road within the agreed timeframe.
In his remarks, Councillor Hon. Kosi Okeke described the project as a landmark intervention for Ogunzele, noting that it reflects Chief Okey Offor's commitment to the progress and wellbeing of the community.
The benefactor's elder brother, who represented him at the event, expressed gratitude to community members for their support and reaffirmed Chief Offor's dedication to initiatives that promote development and improve living standards.
Community leaders, including Chief Michael Ifeka, Ezisi Ugonabou, Home Chairman Mr. Chukwuzubelu Okpala, and Mr. Okpalugo Gregory (Senior Cambridge) praised the benefactor for his generosity and vision, describing the project as a major boost to the community's growth and development.
Hon. Amaka Obi further described the road project as a pathway to rural prosperity and a testament to what can be achieved when government, communities, and private individuals work together for the common good.
Among those present at the ceremony were the incoming Mayor of Idemili South, Hon. Oluchukwu Ilogbenu John, Council Secretary Hon. Ofido Evaristus Omega, Hon. Obisike Okeke, Hon. Jude Emeli, Hon. Ejikeme Chinonso, and other dignitaries.
