Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, an Amazon and the senator representing the people of Anambra Central Senatorial District of Anambra State, has made true her promise by flagging off a road project in Nnobi, Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State, on Saturday, 6th February, 2021. She was assisted by her Project Committee.
The positioning of the road is strategic, selfless, and welcomed. The road is a bypass that stretches from Agbom Primary School (Ward 2) road to Akudolu road (Ward 1) before it connects to Awka Etiti town.
When the road construction is completed, it will ease the perennial traffic congestion at the Afor Nnobi market – one of the biggest and functional semi-urban markets in South-Eastern Nigeria.
The people of Nnobi came out in large numbers to witness the groundbreaking ceremony. The popular Obialigbo dance group mesmerized and thrilled Ndi Abalukwu Nnobi, a unique name for the people of Nnobi for their preferences for greater value.

SA Media to Senator Uche Ekwunife stated that Dr. Patrick Mbanefo, Chairman of Ngo quarter Nnobi, and Chief Chris Ezeani, the Chairman of Caretaker Committee Nnobi Town Union, expressed the deepest appreciation to Sen.

“Reacting to the project, the Chairman of Umunebo village, Mr Henry Okongwu said that the people of the community are excited over the project which will bring succour to indigenes and residents of the community.
