..A step towards redefining the narrative of grassroots development.
By Joel Mkpong
Itu, January 3rd, 2025 – Community development is a process where individuals and groups come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common challenges. It empowers communities by enhancing their skills, resources, and capacities to improve social, economic, and environmental conditions.
These qualities are exemplified in the personality of Rt. Hon. KufreAbasi Edidem, Member representing Itu State Constituency and Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly. The lawmaker is a beacon of hope and a silent achiever who has championed impactful initiatives and selfless philanthropy. Through strategic legislative leadership, he has redefined grassroots empowerment, fostering development, inspiring hope, and motivation to many.
One remarkable demonstration of his commitment to community development came during the 2024 Mbre Ofiong Festival, anchored by MC Ntokrok, an indigene of Itu. On December 30th, 2024, at Mbiatok Itam Village Square, Itu, Rt. Hon. KufreAbasi Edidem generously donated 100 bags of cement to support the Building Project of Mr. Ekanem Edet Udosen through the Mbre Ofiong Foundation.
This initiative underscores his dedication to bolstering infrastructure development within Itu and supporting community projects. It reflects his vision of providing a foundation for sustainable growth and improving the lives of his people.
Rt. Hon. KufreAbasi Edidem’s leadership style is defined by humility, action, and a deep connection to the needs of his constituents. Rather than relying on grandiose proclamations, his actions speak volumes, earning him widespread admiration and respect.
As we look ahead to 2025, Rt. Hon. KufreAbasi Edidem continues to inspire hope through his legislative impact and goodwill, charting a new course for grassroots development in Itu and beyond.
