Building the Foundation for Our Sustainable Future Together
We recognize that strong infrastructure is essential for economic growth, community well-being, and a better quality of life. ONELGA could do with improved quality and quantity of roads, schools, healthcare facilities and other vital amenities. I personally consider it unacceptable that we have only one functional dual-carriage way in ONELGA which is still undergoing construction. We will develop and execute a comprehensive plan for infrastructural development that addresses the needs of our citizens today while laying the groundwork for future generations. By focusing on transportation, energy, healthcare, education, and digital infrastructure, we aim to create a modern, sustainable, and resilient foundation for our nation’s future. Here are the key areas we will focus on to drive infrastructural development:
1. Enhancing Transportation Networks
A robust transportation network is vital for connecting communities, facilitating trade, and boosting economic activities. Egbema should be directly connected to Ndoni through multiple channels, ONELGA is due for a ring road that passes through all our major towns and rising cities. Egbada Road, Kreigani Road and other interstate roads should be expanded to suit their status as roads leading into our great Local Government Area. We will prioritize the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, and highways to improve connectivity and reduce travel time. In addition, we will invest in public transportation systems, including buses, trains, and light rail, to provide affordable and efficient travel options for all citizens.
2. Modernizing Energy Infrastructure
Reliable and sustainable energy is crucial for powering our homes, businesses, and industries. We already have high profile energy producing companies operating in ONELGA and will are committed collaboration that will modernize our energy infrastructure by expanding access to clean and renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. This will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, lower energy costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
3. Strengthening Healthcare Facilities
Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right for all citizens. We will invest in revamping and upgrading healthcare facilities across the Local Government Area, particularly in underserved and rural areas, contributing to the welfare of health workers. Our strategy includes equipping hospitals and clinics with state-of-the-art medical technology and training healthcare professionals to provide top-notch care. We will also avail workers with incentives that make working in ONELGA preferred. We will partner with agencies to provide HMO and other health insurance services that will help to boost the overall quality of healthcare.
4. Expanding Educational Infrastructure
Education is the cornerstone of our nation’s future, and strong educational infrastructure is essential for nurturing talent and fostering innovation. We will focus on building new schools and upgrading existing ones to create a conducive learning environment for students of all ages. Our plan includes investing in modern educational tools, such as digital classrooms and laboratories, to enhance learning and prepare our youth for the challenges of the future. Additionally, we will prioritize accessibility to ensure that all children, regardless of their background or location, have access to quality education.
