Until public office is stripped of its material attractions public life will majorly attract people whose goals are not service and whose service will more likely bring misery to the people than progress.
On Tuesday, we commissioned and handed over 35 Dignity Homes to 35 indigent widows, most of whom had been living in penury, across all 17 LGAs of Abia State, in celebration of my husband’s 3rd year in office. The home in Umuhute, Ahiake Ndume, Umuahia, served as the commissioning point for the entire project, which was driven by my office.
I sincerely thank His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, for his support and commitment to people-centred governance; Special Adviser to the Governor on Policies and Interventions, Dr. Christian Uche Anokwuru, for his coordination; the Ministry of Women Affairs, led by Dr. (Mrs) Maureen Aghukwa; our local contractors; and everyone who made this possible.
For a widow, a home means stability, dignity, and restored hope. Alongside the houses, I provided cash and food support for their immediate upkeep, while sustainable livelihood plans will also be rolled out for them.
Under my husband’s leadership, Abia will continue to expand interventions for the vulnerable. All glory to God for making this possible.
