A Non-Governmental Organization, Chinedu Ogah Foundation, last weekend built and handed over a 3-bedroom bungalow to Ebonyi State’s presumed oldest man as part of its programme of taking care of the less privileged and down trodden in society.

 
The beneficiary, Pa Nmbaka Nwanchati is
presumably aged 135 and hails from Edukwu-Ohatekwe community of Ikwo Local Government Area of the state. The construction of buildings in the area brought together a mammoth crowd to felicitate with the beneficiary and his family members. The Organization also constructed a culvert for Obeagu-Ohatekwe community to ease their movement to other neighbouring communities and avert incidences of drowning as experienced by members of the community in times past. In a chat with South East Voice, the Founder of the NGO, Comrade Chinedu Ogah who expressed the determination of his organization to sustain the tempo in the provision of basic amenities and welfare packages to the less privileged across the state assured that the gesture would continue for the betterment of all and sundry. According to Ogah who is also the National Coordinator of Buhari/ Osibanjo Initiative For Demonstrating Change in Nigeria, what his Organization was merely doing was to rev up the policies and programmes of the APC-led government of ensuring that the needs of the people, especially the rural dwellers were met. “It is good for leaders to make their impact felt at the rural level. It is good that we relate with the people at the grass root level in order to bring dividend of democracy to their door steps. we have done a lot and we will continue by God’s grace,” he said.
Commissioning the projects, the state Chairman of All Progressive congress, APC, Chief Ben Nwobashi commended Ogah for initiating the projects and called on well meaning Nigerians to emulate such gestures as it was necessary for individuals in positions to affect the lives of their people positively. Appreciating the gesture, a member of the community and pioneer Vice Chancellor of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Professor Fidelis Ogah, thanked God for using the NGO to construct the culvert and build a house for the old man.
