Dear Esteemed People of Ukwa West LGA,
Over time, our dear local government area has been plagued by several challenges that hinder our growth and development. Issues like poor infrastructure, inadequate power supply, limited economic opportunities, and lack of support for our youth and farmers have become all too familiar. It is with this understanding that I, Pst. Dike Nwankwo, over the years have been on radio and television actively advocating for a paradigm shift. Here we are presented with that rare opportunity to address these issues. We know the issues, we have the requisite language, all we are asking is the mandate to actualize the vision.
I wholeheartedly therefore, present myself for this great service as your executive chairman.
