‎

‎Speaking exclusively to journalist on the development, Ihiala Local Government Chair­man, Hon. Engr. Anayochukwu Orjiako, said that the gesture was a welcome development as the billionaire brothers decided to think home which is in tandem with Governor Soludo’s Aku Lu Uno policy.

‎

‎Orjiako explained that Chief Emeka Okonkwo a.k.a E-Mon­ey and his elder brother, Chief Kingsley Okonkwo, an Afrobe­ats superstar and music icon, popularly known as KCee, are both illustrious sons of Uli town in Ihiala Local Government Area and that both siblings have been part and parcel of community development drives in the area.

‎

‎Orjiako noted that E-Money and his elder sibling KCee were currently helping to reconstruct the road that connects Egbuoma Amamputu Uli to Okija, adding that the economic importance of the road cannot be overempha­sised.

‎

‎The council chairman, how­ever, praised the efforts of the Anambra State Government and Ihiala stakeholders for mak­ing Ihiala Local Government a befitting local government area to live in, noting that Ihiala peo­ple should expect a very peaceful Christmas celebration this year.
