Amarachi Ehia, Abakaliki
The member representing Ohaozara/Onicha/ Ivo federal constituency at the National Assembly, Chief Nkemkanma Kama weekend disabused the mind of students against the saying “education is a scam”.
The lawmaker said that proponents of education is a scam did not mean well for the the society.
Kama made this clarification during a constituency tour and inspection of some projects including holiday lessons he organized in various communities in the constituency.
” Education is the in thing in the society, if you are not educated it will be difficult for you to survive in this society. But with education you will go far, reach to an enviable height you may never imagine.
“Take your studies serious, do not engage in act that are not profitable to the society. The extra-mural classes will harness their intellect to complement what they were taught in school and the experience will be rewarding and beneficial to the pupils and the society.”
The lawmaker further noted his plans to embark on reconstruction and revitalisation of some primary health care facilities in his constituency in collaborate with the National Primary Health Care Development Agency.
“The primary health care centre in Ukawu for instance is mind-boggling and I can’t understand why that community would not have such centre functional”
“We intend to handle about 5 of such centres across the constituency with available resources.
“It is not about the quantity but quality as delivering adequate health care to the people remains the primary objective,” he said.
Kama who also visited a makeshift bamboo bridge at Ameke- Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area (LGA) and a fallen bridge at Ukawu, in Onicha LGA appealed to Governor Francis Nwifuru of the state to give attention to the two communities by siting a new bridge at Ameke and reconstruct the Ukwu bridge.
“The governor is a reputed builder who has changed the narrative of the state and I know that he will hearken to this appeal.
“The non provision of a bridge at Ameke- Ishiagu prevents our people from accessing their farm lands which makes their neighbours from Enugu, encroach on them.
“The fallen bridge at Ukawu makes the journey across villages and beyond the community tedious, ultimately bringing untold hardship on the people.”
Kama expressed satisfaction at the projects he attracted with many of them already completed and others at various stages of completion.
“We hope that the projects which include water boreholes, solar street lights, primary health care centres among others, would be completed by December 22.
“We are constructing 13 boreholes for 10 communities of the constituency with each getting one and some two boreholes.
“We are installing 50 solar street lights for each of the 34 wards of the constituency and we are committed to completing the installation,” he said.
