Concerned citizens from within and outside Ewulu community have commended the Chairman of Aniocha South Local Government Council, Hon. Jude Chukwunwike, for his timely intervention in the grading of the Ewulu Earth Road, describing it as a critical relief for residents.
In a statement made available to journalists, the group, led by the Special Adviser to the Delta State Governor on Infrastructure, Chief Nat Igbadi, expressed deep appreciation to the council chairman for his swift response in rehabilitating the road and restoring motorable access to the community at a crucial time.
Chief Igbadi noted that the intervention had significantly eased movement and improved access for residents and visitors alike.
“With this intervention, the people of Ewulu can now conveniently access their community through the Ogwashi-Uku axis. This has brought much-needed relief to commuters and boosted socio-economic activities,” he said.
The group also lauded the Delta State Government, under the leadership of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, for the successful completion of Phase I of the Isheagu–Ewulu Road project.
He described it as a testament to the governor’s commitment to infrastructural development across the state.
While commending the progress recorded so far, the concerned citizens appealed to Governor Oborevwori to consider awarding the contract for Phase II of the project, which spans about five kilometres from the Ogwashi-Uku axis.
According to them, completing the remaining phase would enhance connectivity, stimulate economic growth, and further integrate Ewulu with neighbouring communities.
Chief Igbadi also acknowledged the support and contributions of illustrious sons of Ewulu, particularly Prince Chukwuka Ezechie, for his role in supporting the completion of the project.
He further appreciated members of the Peace Committee for their financial, moral, and supervisory contributions, which, he said, ensured the successful execution of the initiative.
Those commended included Mr. Patrick Odimegwu, Mr. Celestine Ibegbunem, and Hon. Gerrald Odimegwu.
Others are Hon. Alex Chukwunwike, Comrade Celestine Afokobah, Mr. Maduka Okubulu, and Mr. Ikwemefuna Nwokolo.
The group reaffirmed its commitment to supporting developmental initiatives that promote unity, accessibility, and sustainable growth in Ewulu and Aniocha South Local Government Area at large.
