Abia Lawmaker Distributes N1bn Empowerment, Hospital Equipment

The member representing Obingwa West constituency in Abia State House of Assembly, Erondu Uchenna-Erondu has distributed empowerment and hospital equipment worth over N1billion to his constituents.

At the event tagged “Grand civic reception and mass empowerment programme” at Umuanunu Ancient Kingdom, the former governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu, thanked him for the gesture.
