The Youth wing of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide says the massive community development projects commissioned by Governor Chukwuma Soludo during the yuletide were proof that Ndigbo are harkening to the call to take their destiny in their hands in ensuring the development of Alaigbo.
Governor Soludo, throughout the Christmas celebration, toured parts of the state, commissioning various developmental projects, including constructed roads totaling over thirty kilometers, reconstructed health facilities, leisure and hospitality investments, educational and health infrastructure projects, scholarships, among others.
There was also empowerment of various kinds; all undertaken by individuals and groups, as well as diaspora associations, not just in Anambra, but also in other states of the Southeast region.
Speaking on the development in a chat with newsmen in Awka, the Acting National Youth Leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Mazi Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu, posited that by the gesture, Igbos are returning to the age-long tested and proven method through which Alaigbo was built, as according to him, Ndigbo; as lovers of humanity and peace, had from time immemorial, been responsible for creating the liveable society they yearn for in the Southeast, despite decades of obvious abandonment by successive governments.
Mazi Okpalaezeukwu extolled the individuals and groups that are putting in their wealth in pursuing the good of their homeland, adding that government alone cannot do everything for the people, as the call which the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide under Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and the Governors of the Southeast states have been making for quite a while is now being heeded.
The Ohaneze youth leader maintained that with the gainful engagements that the initiatives will provide for the youths, the number of those who will venture into crime and criminality will drastically reduce.
He therefore called on youths in the various communities where such developmental projects were executed to protect the infrastructure and other facilities.
