Senator Anthony Okorie Ani, representing Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly, has asked Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s government, reassuring them that the president’s initiatives will soon show beneficial results.
Okorie made the statement at Onicha, where he was distributing over 1,000 bags of fertiliser to farmers and 65 motorcycles to youngsters in his constituency.
The senator emphasised that the President has good intentions for the country and expressed confidence that Nigerians will eventually “sing songs of praise” to the president.
Senator Ani underlined his commitment to providing his constituents with the benefits of democracy while calling for ongoing support for the current administration.
He explained that the motorbikes provided to adolescents are designed not only to empower them but also to alleviate mobility issues in remote areas where autos are difficult to get.
“The only way to come out of economic gridlock is to be fully engaged in agriculture. And the only way to boost agriculture is through fertilizer, giving it the manure it requires so that it will do well.”
The senator also discussed some of the constituency projects he has brought to the zone, such as the construction of 5 km of roads in each of the five local government areas of the Ebonyi South Senatorial District and the installation of solar-powered street lights in various communities.
In addition to these initiatives, the Senator emphasised the assistance of job placements for several people in key federal government offices.
He said: “Support to our farmers and economic empowerment of women and youths, some of which included the 65 Nos of Motorcycles that have been given out today. We have also facilitated employment placements of many people from our zone into key federal government agencies,just to mention a few”
“Also, in the coming months, we shall be launching our educational support programme and digital tech skills drive among our teeming young population.
“Digital technology skill is a key requirement for survival in today’s world and we are embracing it squarely to ensure that our young people are sufficiently equipped to fit into the 21st century society”.
