Lawmaker sponsors holiday tutorials for constituents

UKAWU (Ebonyi) A member of the House of Representatives, Chief Nkemkanma Kama, says he will sponsor extra-moral holiday tutorials for students in various schools in his constituency.

Kama who is representing Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, said this on Friday while inspecting projects he attracted to his constituency.

The legislator said that the initiative was to prevent the children from roaming the streets during the holiday but to confine them within the school environment for tutorials.“

The extra-moral classes will harness their intellect to complement what they were taught in school.“The experience will be rewarding and beneficial to the people and the society,” he said.

He noted that the projects being inspected were part of his campaign promises meant to benefit the majority of the people.“

We hope that the projects which include water boreholes, solar streetlights, primary health care centres among others, will be completed by Dec. 22.“We are constructing 13 boreholes for 10 communities of the constituency, with each getting at least one.“

We are installing 50 solar streetlights for each of the 34 wards of the constituency and we are committed to completing the installation,” he said.Kama said that he was

collaborating with the State Primary Health Care authorities to ensure the re-construction of such facilities across the constituency to enhance the peoples health.“

The primary health care centre in Ukawu for instance is mind-boggling and I can’t understand why that community will not have such a centre.“We intend to handle about five of such centres across the constituency with available resources.“

It is not about the quantity but quality, as delivering adequate health care to the people remains my primary objective,” he said.

He appealed to Gov. Francis Nwifuru to construct a bridge at Ameke-Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area (LGA), since he was already reconstructing the one at Ukawu, in Onicha LGA.“

The governor is a reputed builder who has changed the narrative of the state, and I know that he will hearken to this appeal.“

The non availability of a bridge at Ameke-Ishiagu prevents our people from accessing their farmlands which encourages people from neighbouring Enugu communities to encroach on them.“

The fallen bridge at Ukawu makes the journey across villages and beyond the community tedious and it brings untold hardship on the people,” he said. (NAN)
