PROF. Ibe intervenes on Uturu -Okigwe road

Perspective

Life is all about impacting people, while governance is about impacting lives.

Good Leaders are hard to come by these days, where selfishness and self-centredness is the order of the day in our society today.

A time when people view government’s property as belonging to nobody and public utilities are misused and given little care.

Lots of Leaders or People who aspire to lead must at one time or the other display the interest to lead by example even before ascending the seat of power.

There is one man whose desire to change the narrative of the state has prompted him to employ the use of his personal funds to fix infrastructure and provide for the needy in the state uncountable times.

Prof. Gregory Ibe -Chancellor, Gregory University Uturu, and Gubernatorial Candidate APGA in Abia State, has always offered a helping hand to the state when it matters, he has shown will and way through his people oriented interventions across Abia state.

With a governor like him, the negative trend of poor leadership will become a thing of the past.

Prof. Ibe’s mandate will birth a new leadership dawn in the state.

For a long time, Professor Gregory Ibe has been in the forefront of imparting lives of people within and around him.

During the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak that ravaged Abia State in 2020/2021, Prof Greg Ibe provided Free Medical Outreach and palliatives to the people of Abia State.

For many years now, he has a Scholarship Scheme under the Gregory Iyke Foundation that has awarded Scholarships to students across the 17 Local Governments of Abia State and beyond to study programs in his University, such as Medicine and Surgery, Law, Accounting and others.

His intervention on the Okigwe-Uturu road recently is commendable. A road which had become death trap to commuters and Uturu people and which seemed abandoned by the state government will now be rehabilitated for use; courtesy of Prof Ibe.

This effort is not only to improve the infrastructure by reconstructing and expanding it, but to also address the incessant insecurity situation on the road occasioned by kidnappings.

For someone who is not in power to use personal resources to fund such projects reveals his mindset about life and governance.

Professor Gregory Ikechukwu Ibe needs not blow his own trumpets, he did not wait till 2023 to become Governor of Abia State, nor did he beguile his people for votes in order to fix their roads after he is elected Governor…

He did it now, out of his own pocket that they may stay safe in their homes.
