Enugu East council completes N28 million bridge

The Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State has completed the construction of a bridge worth over N28 million to support agricultural activities in the area.The council chairman, Mr Mathias Anike, said that the bridge at Mbuluanwulu, would enable farmers to access their farm lands and evacuate products to nearby markets.He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview in Enugu recently that the area was mostly agrarian but that it had been disadvantaged in terms of road linkages.According to Anike, no fewer than 40 per cent of the people in the area are farmers who survive through farm products from the Mbuluanwulu farm lands.He said that the completion of the bridge was a relief to the people and had also led to the enhancement of their earnings from agriculture.The council chairman said that he had also provided appointments to about 525 persons from various communities in the council area as part of his poverty alleviation programme.Other achievements recorded by his administration, he said, included free dental treatment for over 300 persons of communities in the council area.Mrs Juliet Eze, a beneficiary of the free dental treatment told NAN that she was very happy at the free treatment.'They removed two of my damaged teeth and replaced them with artificial ones and since that day, I have not been having teeth problem again,' Anike said.
