“Ekwunife who will be leaving office in June noted that despite the fact that the primary function of a lawmaker is to make laws for peace, order and good governance, she leveraged on the platform she has as a member of the National Assembly to draw the attention of the federal government to the developmental challenges in her Senatorial District thereby attracting numerous projects and programmes to the zone.”
Also speaking at the commissioning ceremonies of St. Thomas Nkwelle Road Oraukwu and Okpokaji Road Abba, the lawmaker stated that road construction is one of the most critical enablers of economic growth.
