In yet another renewed demonstration of his administration’s commitment to community development and infrastructure revitalization, the Executive Chairman of Obowo Local Government Area, Hon. Barr. Obioma Johnson Ehirim, has carried out an on-site inspection of the Umukpa – Uhu, Amato Alike Autonomous Community in Alike ward axis, a region long affected by severe electrical power challenges.

The visit is a proactive step towards the kick-off of a major rural electrification intervention project in Alike, which is set to end nearly a decade of power crisis that has left households and businesses in darkness.

According to reports, the development follows the prompt notification by the Hon. Councillor representing Alike Ward Hon. Iwueke Chinonso who drew the attention of the council chairman to the plight of his constituents. The Councillor further decried the terrible nature of wiring that provided epileptic power to the affected areas. Responding swiftly, Hon. Ehirim mobilized technical experts and council engineers to inspect the affected areas and assess the immediate needs for power restoration.

Speaking during the inspection, Hon. Ehirim reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to ensure that communities in Obowo enjoys the dividends of democracy through Governor Hope Uzodimma’s grassroots-driven leadership. He emphasized that the Shared Prosperity Government has redefined the essence of local governance by empowering councils to respond directly to community needs.

> “What we are witnessing today is a practical reflection of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s vision of effective local government administration. His support has made it possible for us to move beyond paperwork and bring solutions to the people’s doorsteps,”
Hon. Ehirim stated.

He further assured that the Alike Power Restoration Project will commence soonest, bringing electricity back to the community after ten long years of blackout. The project is expected to improve local businesses, boost social life, and enhance overall security in the area.

The Ehirim-led administration continues to make notable strides across Obowo through infrastructural renewal, youth empowerment, agricultural support, and community development projects — all inspired by support of the 3R Mantra of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Recovery championed by Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma.
