Stakeholders in Abia North have commended the Senator representing the district and Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu over the flag-off of the distribution of educational materials to primary and secondary school pupils in the zone.
The exercise which took place Monday started with Ohafia, expected to go round the entire local governments that make up the zone.
One of such stakeholders, Hon. Steve Anagha, a native of Ohafia local government said Sen Kalu’s representation in the past two years has been phenomenal.
The distribution of school bags and millions of textbooks of various subjects for all the primary and secondary school pupils and students in Abia North comes after the former Abia governor had earlier renovated schools and donated seats for the comfort of pupils, students, and their teachers around the zone.

Anagha said that through Kalu’s exceptional works in Abia North, he has repeatedly shown other zones in Nigeria what Senatorial representation looks like.
In his note of commendation, Anagha on Monday thanked Kalu for flagging off the distribution of the educational materials.
He said he has shown Ohafia exceptional love by extending all necessary amenities to the local government.
“Orji Uzor Kalu built many roads for us; gave us water; renovated our schools; gave our children employment; empowered several families, and today he is distributing school bags and textbooks to all the primary and secondary school students in government schools.
“His performance as our senator is only but phenomenal. We have never experienced such leadership and we are grateful and thankful to God. The last time we enjoyed such leadership in Abia was between 1999-2007 when Kalu was Governor.”
“We miss his years as Governor when he instituted free education in all categories. Nobody paid school fees and we wish he can repeat that again. Despite being a Senator for Abia North, we would love him to institute free education in the entire state”, Anagha said.
Recall that Senator Kalu was recently bestowed with the prestigious Senate award for constituency development by the Senate Press corps in recognition of his impressive representation and expedition of massive constituency projects in his Abia North.
