In contributing towards rural electrification and community development, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has commissioned a 300KVA transformer electricity project in Onu-Orie, Obuno Autonomous Community in Akpugo within Nkanu West Local Council of Enugu State.

During the inaugural ceremony, held at the weekend, Nnaji assured the community members of more people-oriented projects. He noted that he would attract more human capital development projects, including employment to complement existing ones in the Akpugo axis of the state which included the Obuno autonomous community.

He said: “I do not have money to give, but I can provide human capital development, infrastructure and projects that will impact the people as I have already given more than 100 people from Akpugo axis employment.

“I also encourage our people to keep supporting all Federal Government programmes and policies, designed to make life easier, better and safer for them.”

Nnaji extended his appreciation to the Chief Executive Officer of Second Coming Limited, Basil Ogbuanu, for the execution of the 300 KVA transformer electricity project, and also the energising and electricity reticulation of the entire community.

“I want to encourage other wealthy and philanthropic individuals to emulate him, as this is a vital support/complement not only to the people but to the government, as well as to hasten up development of the community,” he said.

The minister said that he had noted the complaint of lack of government presence in the community, adding that he would see what he would do to open up major access roads of the community and bring human capital development.
