\n

Senator Austin Akobundu has extended his constituency-wide streetlight project to yet another major commercial hub in Abia <\/a>Central.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Isiala Ngwa North to Isiala Ngwa South; from Ikwuano to Osisioma; from Umuahia North to Umuahia South, the story has remained consistent across the six Local Government Areas of the senatorial district. The lights are up, and the latest beneficiary is Afor Ibeji Market in Umuahia South LGA.<\/span><\/p>\n

As in previously covered communities, the installation has transformed Afor Ibeji Market, giving it a new, more welcoming ambience. The project has also enhanced security in and around the market and created the opportunity for traders to extend business hours into the night, thereby boosting sales. The overall impact is a significant improvement in the welfare of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

In their appreciation, traders and customers thanked the Senator for the kind gesture and pledged to reciprocate by supporting his political aspirations to enable him to do more for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his message to the traders, Senator Akobundu thanked them for their support and cooperation and reaffirmed his commitment to providing quality, people-oriented leadership. He urged them to maximize the new opportunities provided by the streetlights and to protect the facilities against vandalism.<\/span><\/p>\n
