A US-based Anambra philanthropist, Emeka Ezeonu, has unveiled a project to revitalise Nnobi town in the Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The Diasporan-based entrepreneur unveiled a one-kilometre road, aimed at ensuring better connectivity for the residents.
Speaking to journalists on Saturday, while also undertaking the renovation of the Government General Hospital and Doctor’s Quarters in Nnobi, Ezeonu said that he is striving to enhance healthcare delivery within the community.
According to him, this is an effort to achieve a healthy and liveable environment for the people and the community.
Ezeonu equally unveiled three pipe-borne water boreholes to improve the quality of life for residents in the Nnobi community.
As part of his donations, Ezeonu distributed safety helmets and reflective jackets to motorcycle riders to enhance road safety and promote responsible transport practices in the area.
He said: “With a steadfast commitment to community development, we are keen on addressing safety concerns. My recent construction of a police control tower at the Nnobi Divisional Police Station underscores my commitment to ensuring security and order within the community.
“By enhancing the safety and well-being of the residents, this aims to foster a sense of confidence and pride in Nnobi.”
Drawing inspiration from the achievements of other community leaders, including Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana), Ezeonu said that he envisions elevating Nnobi’s profile on both national and international stages.
He added that the Nnobi community deserves the same recognition and respect as other thriving communities within Anambra State, and he would work tirelessly to realise the vision.
Ezeonu further expressed openness to receiving additional titles from other communities and Igbo groups, finding strength in shared prosperity and goals.
“I firmly believe that collective effort is essential for the holistic advancement of Nnobi. I urge local stakeholders to foster cooperation for the greater good.
“I call upon all Nnobi citizens, both at home and in diaspora, to unite under a common banner of progress, working together is a prerequisite for lasting change. Together, we can reshape Nnobi into a vibrant and thriving community, rich in opportunities and brimming with hope for future generations,”he added.
