Constituents of Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency have commended the member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency, Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa, for installing solar-powered streetlights in major markets, a move they say has enhanced security and boosted economic activities across the constituency.

Women, youths, and traders in Nkporo, Abiriba, and Ohafia communities, as well as various wards in Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency, praised the initiative, expressing their appreciation for the lawmaker’s commitment to community development.

Our correspondent reports that the benefiting communities include Ndi Agbo Market, Amurie Market (Afia Eke) – Ndi Elu Ward, Afia Orieakwa Abiriba, Afia Nkwo Abiriba, Afia Amogudu Abiriba, Amabelu Daily Market, Amaeke Abiriba, Afia Ogwuma Elu Ohafia, Afia Afor Asaga Ohafia, and Afia Ebem Ohafia.

Mrs. Mary Kalu, a trader, lauded the project, saying: “Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa has truly exceeded our expectations. The solar lights have made our markets safer at night, and now we can sell for longer hours without fear of thieves or hoodlums.”

Prince Kalu Agwu, a community leader, emphasized the impact on security, stating: “Before now, our markets were in darkness once the sun went down, making them unsafe.
