… Calls on Gov. Uzodimma,Speaker Olemgbe to intervene
By Iheanyi Enwerem
Youths in Ihitte-Uboma have raised concerns over what they described as a prolonged funding challenge affecting the activities of the local government council.
Speaking with Ikoro Okigwe, a youth leader from the area, Uwasonu Charles Eberechukwu, said the council has allegedly been unable to access its funds for several months, a situation he noted has brought many activities of the local government to a standstill.
According to him, the development has affected governance and slowed down ongoing projects within the LGA.
“How can a local government be starved of funding for months? The Chairman is crying out, councillors are also lamenting, and everything seems to be on standstill,” he said.
Uwasonu explained that without access to funds, it would be difficult for the council to carry out its responsibilities, including fixing roads, completing office buildings already started, and attracting development projects that would benefit the people.
He therefore called on the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, and the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Chike Olemgbe, who represents Ihitte-Uboma State Constituency, to urgently intervene and address the situation.
He stressed that timely intervention and transparency are necessary to restore normal administrative and developmental activities in the council, noting that effective grassroots governance remains vital for the development of the people of Ihitte-Uboma.
