Chairperson, House of Representative Committee on Aviation, Hon Nkeiruka Onyejeocha has awarded scholarships to students of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency of Abia State, from primary to secondary school and university levels.

Hon Onyejeocha also donated cash,food items, clothing materials, generating sets and flat screen Television, among others. This gestures , she said, is aimed at alleviating the plight of the indigent and unemployed youths in her constituency

Presenting the gifts to the people during a town hall meeting,  Hon. Onyejeocha said “ the people deserved much more and the best way to empower them to be self-reliant and prevent them especially the youths from engaging in criminal activities was to give them what would provide for them their daily bread and their families  means of livelihood.”

She observed that with the absence of power in the communities, the people depended on generating sets to do their businesses and the gifts  would not only help to boost their businesses but help to create employment and give the needed training to those desiring to learn such a trade.

According to her, last year the people asked for certain basic amenities like pipe borne water, good health centres and employment for qualified youths in the civil service which she gladly announced had been done with the support of the people.

‘’At our meeting last year, we mutually agreed on a number of issues and areas that will be addressed. I have tackled a number of them and still tackling others. Apart from the projects I facilitated in the previous year, this year witnessed other landmark projects which cuts across the basic needs of our people like construction of health centers at Uturu and Umuchieze with hand pump bole holes, ICT centres at Isuikwuato, skills acquisition centres at Isuiochi, solar lights in Akawa and Aroikpa Nneato Acha in Isuiochi, Achara Uturu, Amuda, Umuaku, Ngodo and Uru Lokpaukwu’’.
