The Hon Commissioner for Power and Water resources in Anambra State, Hon Julius Chukwuemeka has revealed that he donates percentage of his monthly salary to 49 oldest people in Aguleri.
The Hon Commissioner who spoke to OMT reporters in his Awka office revealed that his dream was to make sure he makes the generous gesture every month – supporting old people both in Aguleri where he was born and other communities,
“I give a part of my salary to old people every month so in terms of giving back [to the community] I do my best," Chukwuemeka said in an interview.
On his achievement under Governor Soludo, Chukwuemeka said that his ministry is converting all the street lights in Aguleri, Anambra East and the entire State from generating set to solar power which they have achieved over 90%. He added that they have also restored electricity in the communities and the people now enjoy steady light as well as convertion of all boreholes in Aguleri Otu to solar.
On the abandoned Ugwu Ndi Uka water project, Chukwuemeka said work will soon resume on the site so that pipe would be layed across all the communities in the area as the state Government has already approved the continuation of the project. He therefore calls for calm.
On the abandoned Aguleri Otu road, Chukwuemeka said that he is making frantic efforts for the completion of the road and urged the Aguleri Otu residents not to loose hope as government has the road project in mind and work will soon resume there.
On the mining activities across Odene bridge, Chukwuemeka also calls for calm and maintained that Aguleri is one indivisible entity, therefore he appealed to the PGs and Ndi Igwes as well as the Agulerians to always resort to peace in resolving such internal problems.
He stated that the issue of the mining within the Odene bridge has been dully reported to the state government and that he is on top of the matter to ensure that solution and lasting peace returns both to the miners and Agulerians as well as ensuring that safety of the bridge is guaranteed.
