Here him: “It is our belief that this decision will restore the trust and confidence of the Abiriba Community with the Council as we continue to work together as partners for sustainable development” the Mayor stated.

The handover was made to the ACIU under the leadership of Hon. Yucee Otah Uwah, the General President of the union and his executives. The Mayor commended the current ACIU leadership for what they have achieved in the short period they have been in office and is confident that they will put the facility to good use for the benefit of the community and all stakeholders.

In return, Hon. Yuccee O. Uwa on behalf of the ACIU, appreciated the Mayor’s gesture and assured that the Union will ensure effective and productive management of the facility for the benefit of residents and future generations.

In his closing remarks, the Mayor thanked the immediate past Mayor of Ohafia LGA, Chief Dr. David Ogbah Onuoha (Bourdex) MFR, OON for his partnership with Fidelity Bank PLC that made possible the remodeling of the Okpuachi Recreational Park in Abiriba as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects.

🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭An Igbo man will have all these in their car garage, yet when you ask him "Mazi, how is market" he will reply with "Nna eeehn, the c0untry is affecting the market, but we're managing". Like, you're managing with this kind of rides in your garage? 😂😁

Some men in Nnewi and Onitsha will have 10 shops but still prefer to ride their motorcycle rather than cars.

Some also have storey buildings in different locations but always say they're managing.

Even me, that posted this, I'm still managing o 🤲😂
