Amanvu, Nkalagu community in Ishielu local government area of Ebonyi state has been thrown into jubilation as the senator representing Ebonyi Central, Obinna Ogba has built a modern market for them.
The new Eke Amanvu modern market constructed by Ogba was said to have been abandoned for 25 years without business activities.
But Sen Ogba who hails from the community did not just construct the market for his people but revived buying and selling of agricultural produce there.
Speaking during the handover of the market, chairman of the community, Comrade Felix Ogba, noted that the modern market will make Amanvu a business hub that will attract patronage from far and near.
“The Eke market is here to serve the commercial purpose of Amanvu Nkalagu, her neighbouring brothers and sisters and far away traders,” he stated.
He commended Senator Ogba for constructing the market, which he said has lifted the community.
Ogba while handing over the market to the community, explained that it was not easy to construct and commended the people for their support which led to the completion of the project.
On the governorship position he contested, the Chairman Senate Committee on Youth and Sports, urged the people to remain calm as according to him, the situation in the state was temporal.
“Don’t bother yourselves, whatever that is happening in Ebonyi is temporary and God is in control of everything. Your destiny can be delayed but it cannot be denied,” he said.
