Ekweremadu donates classroom to Hausa community

Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu has donated and opened a classroom block to the Hausa community at Ugwuoba, Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State.

He also donated 21 motorcycles to the commercial motorcycle riders union at 9th Mile Corner, Udi council.

A statement by his media aide, Uche Anichukwu, said Ekweremadu described education as the key to a good life, and urged the community to take advantage of the school to give their children education.

The statement reads: “Your children are helping to tend cattle today, but let me tell you that in 20 to 30 years, they will not be interested in it. The best gift you can give to these children is education so they can contest and become councillors, governors, and even senators like me.

“We will build another classroom block once this one is put to good use, and will ensure there is a functional borehole here, latest March 28, to take care of your water needs.

“I urge to continue to support us by voting for all PDP candidates in the elections to enable us continue to do more for you.”

At 9th Mile corner, Ekweremadu assured the people that the electricity transformer he donated will be installed for them immediately.

He also pledged to rehabilitate the faulty borehole.

“The 9th Mile is a very important city to us, being the commercial headquarters of our senatorial zone. We are already working with a Chinese consortium to turn the area into an economic hub and the foundation stone for that would be laid soon,” he promised.
