Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi hails Enugu indigenes for enduring socioeconomic challenges
Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has praised the tenacious spirit of the state's natives for succeeding in their various business endeavours on a national and international scale despite the difficulties facing the nation, emphasising that "Ndi Enugu have shown resilience in the face of the nation's economic challenges."

The claim was made by Ugwuanyi yesterday while inspecting the 1500-120 TPH Marini Batch Asphalt Plant in Emene, Enugu, which was recently erected by a local construction firm called Eketeson Resources International Limited.

In a special thank you message to the Managing Director of the company, Chief Engr. Donald Ekete, an indigene of Enugu State, the governor lauded the bold initiative, describing it as a great project.

The governor, who attributed the existing peace and security in Enugu State to God’s kindness and mercy, beseeched Him (God) to give more indigenes of Enugu State the enablement to invest and open more business ventures in the state.

While stating that the Eketeson asphalt plant project will be a reference point in the next 50 years, the governor prayed that the company will grow from strength to strength and provide employment opportunities for more people of Enugu State.

He therefore used the opportunity to appeal to other indigenes of Enugu to come home and invest; stressing that God is in charge of the affairs of the state.

Welcoming the governor to the asphalt plant, Ekete said it was a great honour and a demonstration of the former’s commitment to investment and business growth in the state.

Ekete disclosed that the Eketeson marine asphalt plant is 001-2022, adding that “Eketeson has the latest version in the world.”

The Eketeson boss further explained that the company’s asphalt plant produces 120 to 150 tons per hour and has the capacity to do any mixed design for its clients, noting that “It is only RCC and Julius Berger that have this kind of asphalt plant in Nigeria.”

In his goodwill message, the traditional ruler of Agunese Mmaku Kingdom, Awgu Local Government Area, HRH Igwe Cyprian Maduabuchi Nevobasi, applauded Ekete for the milestone achievement and appreciated Governor Ugwuanyi for providing peace and security in Enugu State which he said made it possible for the siting of the asphalt plant in the state.

The Vice Chancellor of Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu, Prof. Christian Anieke; the Commissioner for Rural Development, Dr. Kingsley Udeh; HRH Igwe Eric Chijioke Nwafor; Permanent Secretary and Liaison Officer, Enugu State Liaison Office, Abuja, Barr. Chukwuka Ugwu; the representative of the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ogugua Emehelu; Engr. Ekete’s wife, Elizabeth Chidimma; and the General Manager, Eketeson Resources International Limited, Emmanuel Abbi were among the dignitaries at the event.
