Residents of Umuzocha Village in Awka, Anambra State, have expressed gratitude following the installation of several solar-powered streetlights along Enukora-Ilorah Street and Barrister Chudi Ikegbune Street, facilitated by the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Senator Dr. Victor Umeh OFR.
The solar lighting project, which has transformed the affected streets, is expected to improve security, enhance nighttime visibility, and boost commercial and social activities within the area. Residents described the intervention as timely, noting that the previously dark areas had posed challenges for motorists, pedestrians, and business owners after sunset.
Speaking on the development, residents commended Senator Umeh for his continued commitment to grassroots development and responsive representation. They said the provision of the solar-powered streetlights demonstrates the senator’s dedication to improving the quality of life of his constituents through impactful and sustainable projects.
Senator Umeh, who is also the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) senatorial candidate for Anambra Central in the forthcoming general elections, has consistently emphasised the importance of infrastructure development and community empowerment across the district. The latest intervention adds to a growing list of people-oriented projects aimed at addressing the needs of communities in Anambra Central.
Residents expressed optimism that the improved lighting system would contribute significantly to public safety and economic activities in the area.
Ohamadike Ndigbo, Daalụ!
