The Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor has
extolled Governor Willie Obiano for his thoughtful visit to President
Mohammad Buhari in Abuja on the need for massive development of all
federal projects in the state.

In a telephone conversation with journalists in Awka, Rt. Hon. Okafor
maintained that the visit was necessitated by the genuine efforts of
Governor Obiano towards  attracting meaningful development to the state from
the federal government.

The Speaker noted that the issues raised by the Governor during the
visit are priority projects such as the Enugu-Onitsha Express way,
Second Niger Bridge, proposed University of Education, Aguleri as well
as federal government’s relief intervention to the flood displaced
local government areas in the state among others and appealed to
President Buhari to grant the requests.

He enjoined Ndi Anambra especially politicians to join hands with
Governor Obiano in the overall development of the state and eschew
politics of bitterness and character assassination, which according to
him, affect the smooth running of any political system.
