The Udi Local Government Area Traditional Rulers Council in Enugu State has commended the Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial District, Sen Osita Ngwu, for his efforts towards the completion of the Ninth Mile-Ugwu Onyeama-Enugu Dual Carriageway in the state.

In a letter signed by the chairman of the council, HRM Justice Ken Ezeike (rtd), and the secretary, HRH Igwe (Dr) Uche Alugwu, alongside 33 other traditional rulers and members of the council, the monarchs expressed their sincere appreciation to the Senator for his contribution to the completion of the critical road project.

The traditional rulers said the matter was deliberated upon at their monthly meeting held on July 2, 2026, at the Udi local government area headquarters, Udi, where they unanimously resolved to formally appreciate the Senator for his efforts.

The traditional rulers also expressed appreciation for Ngwu’s respect for and recognition of traditional institutions, particularly his honour and regard for the royal fathers of Udi Local Government Area.

They said his efforts on the Ninth Mile-Ugwu Onyeama-Enugu Road, coupled with his legislative interventions and engagement with relevant authorities, demonstrated his commitment to addressing issues that directly affect the welfare, safety and economic activities of his constituents.
