Dr. Emmanuel Okworigho addressing the community during the conference stated that the Enhwe Modern Hospital project could have been discussed today, but the Ex-PG and Chairman committee of the hospital project, Chief Mike Ovie Ogodo is currently not in the country, but soon, launching will be held to raise funds for the project.
He also decried the attitude of those who took the community to court after the election and refused to withdraw the case from court, noting that this group of persons are also involved in trying to sell the land given to the community with impunity.
On the issues of the water project, Dr. Okworigho stated that, the community is in contact with the Ministry of Water Resources, Asaba, that they have equally written to the ministry that the project is yet to be completed.
He noted that the ministry affirmed that the contractor is yet to be paid, that once the contractor is mobilized, he will be back to site to complete the water project in the community.
Speaking further, he stated that almost a year into his tenure, the leadership has been confronted with visible and worrisome challenges including, insecurity, lack of funds, court cases, indiscriminate land sales by families in the community.
He affirmed that the community will strategize to surmount all the challenges, especially the indiscriminate land sales by families in the community.
On the constitution review, he emphasized that the constitution review committee has submitted their work, that he will set up another committee to still look at all the grey areas amended so that by the next conference it will be read out for everyone for discussion and adoption.
He also urged the community to be vigilant and security conscious as a result of the ravaging Fulani Herdsmen who are killing people with impunity across the country, noting that the security of the community belongs to everyone.
He warned that whenever they see strange movement of people they don’t know in the community and in their various farmland they should not hesitate to call the security organs of the community.
He commended the efforts of the home branch and all branches whom despite their tight schedule attended the conference of the Union.
