AT LAST OBIOMA AND OBIKE COMMUNITIES ARE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER AGAIN THROUGH A BRIDGE
The two Communities "Obioma and Obike" in Ngor Okpala LGA which were separated by Ogochie River are now connected to each other again through a bridge as Governor Hope Uzodimma takes infrastructural development to the grassroot
The Obioma/Obike Ogochie River is located at the boundary between Obioma and Obike which made both Communities suffer lack of access road on that axis for decades. The route where Ogochie River passed is the shortest way to Ngor Okpala LGA Secretariat when one is coming from Obike Community through Obioma
The absence of the bridge for decades affected Socio-economic activities of both Communities. For instance, the Christ the King College (CKC), a missionary school owned by the Catholic Church located in Umuofor Obike was affected by lack of bridge. One of the largest market in Ngor Okpala by name 'Nkwoahiadike' which is jointly owned by the two Communities "Obioma and Obike" was seriously affected by lack of bridge at the Ogochie River.
As the bridge is constructed by Gov Hope Uzodimma, there is joy in the land, more importantly to the people of Obioma Community who came to the Local Government Council to appeal to the Governor for help through the IMC Chairman, Chief Mayor Obinna Nweke. Obioma Community is very happy with the Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodinma for giving them a sense of belonging through the construction of Obioma/Obike Ogochie River Bridge.
During the commissioning of Obioma/Obike Ogochie River Bridge, the IMC Chairman, Chief Mayor Obinna Nweke applauded the Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodimma for his drive in taking infrastructural development to the grassroot. Chief Nweke urged the people of Obike and Obioma Communities to remain resolute in their support to Gov Uzodimma's Administration, assuring them of more dividends to come to their communities from the Governor.
The Head of Works Department, Ngor Okpala Local Government Area Council, Engr. Johnbosco Nwokeji confirmed the Construction of Obioma/Obike Ogochie River Bridge as meeting Global standard and one of the best in the LGA. Engr Nwokeji appreciated the Ngor Okpala IMC Chairman, Chief Mayor Obinna Nweke for his vigor in intensifying efforts by ensuring that the Governor's polices and programmes are speedily implemented in the LGA.
The Traditional Ruler of Obioma Autonomous Community, HRH Eze Dr. Lambert Onuoha thanked the Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodinma for coming to their aide. He reaffirmed there is oil well located near the Nkwoahiadike market and that the constructed bridge will serve various economic purposes. Eze Onuoha appreciated the effort of the IMC Chairman, Chief Nweke and his team for reaching out to the Governor for the construction of Obioma/Obike Bridge and the provision of other social amenities like the water scheme and grading of rural roads.
Rev. Samuel Nkwocha from Umundochie Obioma Community expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodinma and IMC Chairman, Chief Mayor Nweke for the construction of Obioma/Obike Bridge. Also he affirmed that the construction of the bridge will boast the economic viability of Nkwoahiadike as market attendance will tremendously increase because people from Etche LGA in River State will start attending to the market.
Rev. Nkwocha further said that the construction of the bridge will enable the two Communities easily move their farm produce to the cities. He assured that both Communities will continue to support the administration of Governor Hope Uzodimma and Chief Mayor Obinna Nweke.
Other dignitaries who were present at the occasion include, Chief E.O.K Onuoha from Obioma Community, Nze Fidelis from Obioma Community, Chief Mike Achonwa from Obioma Community, Nze Lambert Njoku from Obioma Community, Nze Fidelis Okere from Obike Community, Nze Shepherd Amadi from Obike Community, Chief Hycent Nworgu from Obike Community, Nze Sabinus Okere from Obike Community, Nze Longinus Ikea from Obike Community, etc.
