Activities marking the one year anniversary of the administration of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru have commenced, with inspection of completed and ongoing projects across the state.

Projects inspected include, reconstruction of Chuba Okadigbo International Airport Runway; Ogbaga – Nwofe Road; Housing Estate for Amaeze/ Izzo Communities at Ezillo as well as Ebonyi State Pipe Production Company.
At the Chuba Okadigbo International Airport, the governor disclosed that the project was awarded at the cost of 17. 5 billion Naira, out which over 15 billion Naira has been paid, while the balance will be paid upon completion.
The governor who expressed satisfaction with the quality of work on the runway, charged the contractor to keep to his promise of completing the project within the next ten days.
” Since our manifesto is anchored on continuity and consolidation, it has become obligatory that we complete the runway and put it to the standard that everybody will be proud of.
“We made a promise to our people that we will punish our enemies with gigantic projects and we believe God will be with us to fulfill that promise”.
While inspecting the Housing Estate at Ishielu, the governor expressed satisfaction with the quality of work but decried the low pace of work on the site.
He directed the Ministry of Housing to initiate the process of terminating some of the jobs where the contractor has failed to show reasonable commitment.
Governor Nwifuru who was conducted around the State Pipe Production Company by the Commissioner for Commerce Oguzor Offia Nwali , said the revitalization of the company aligns with his resolve to industrialize the State with a view to creating employment.
The governor and the stakeholders also inspected one of the 39 Model Secondary Schools at Izzi High School.
