Anambra Diaspora: Sen Ifeanyi Ubah rallies investments in New York
From Kenneth Udeh
As Nigeria continues to grapple with inflation and other economic challenges, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has resolved with indigenes of Anambra residing in the United States to intensify their investments in their home state.
Urging them not to be discouraged by the insecurity situation, the Anambra South lawmaker told the state’s diasporans that the ugly trend would soon become a thing of the past.
Ubah stated this in New York yesterday during the 2024 Anambra Day event organized by the Anambra State Organization, ASO, held at Marriott Hotel.
Chairing the event were Ossy Okeke, chairman of Anambra State Organization, others included Nze Malachy Okoro, Chief Ifeanyi Anyene and Dr. Mrs Josephine Aguoji.
During the programme Anambrarians living in the city pledged their commitment to support the economic development of Anambra State and to attract substantial foreign direct investments (FDI) to the state.
The Senate Committee Chairman on Petroleum (Downstream) who graced the occasion called for the observation of a minute of silence in honour of Vigilante personnel and those recently killed by gunmen in Nnewi and Nnobi.
In supporting their cause, Ubah further donated N15 million to support the building of “Obi Anambra” in New York and N5 million in support of ASO Women Wing making a total of N20 million.
The event brought together Anambrarians residing in the city to celebrate their rich culture and heritage.
Speaking at the event, Senator Ubah emphasized the importance of unity and communal love among Anambrarians both in New York and back home in Anambra State, Nigeria.
He highlighted some of his initiatives aimed at promoting businesses in his Senatorial District, such as the ‘Secure South Project’, which is designed to strengthen security and create an atmosphere conducive for businesses to thrive.
