From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
A Nigerian born United Nations, UN Eminent Peace Ambassador, Ikenna Offor has made a passionate appeal to Senator Tony Nwoye representing Anambra North Senatorial Zone at the Upper legislative Chambers to include the street named after him, Ambassador Ikenna Offor Street , close to Anam Street, Abata, Nsugbe in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra state in his ongoing constituency projects.
Ambassador Offor, a veteran journalist and currently a global diplomat and UK based Social entrepreneur made the appeal in a press statement issued to newsmen when he visited home briefly recently.
While noting the deplorable condition of the road, he said it is imperative to include the road among other constituency projects he mapped out for execution now that this year’s rainy season has come to an end.
Ambassador Offor noted that the road has become so bad that it required an urgent intervention from a thorough bred elected representative like Senator Nwoye whom he said deserve commendation from the electorates of his consistency in handling constituency projects within his jurisdiction so far since he assumed office as an honourable member of the red chambers.
According to the statement, “irrespective of your political party affiliations, your projects certainly speak for you at all times. Thanks immensely for representing Anambra North Senatorial Zone at a time like this”.
As a veteran journalist prior to joining the international community, Ambassador Offor also worked as a Public Relations Consultant to the Old Anambra Local Government Area with its headquarters at Otuocha from 1991 to 1994. Before then, he served as a news correspondent for the Old Anambra state government owned Daily Star Newspapers”.
He also served Vanguard Media Limited as a news correspondent and later became the Political Editor and Editor of the People Newspaper.
“As a resident in your constituency and a UN Eminent Peace Ambassador designated as global diplomat whose street is named after him, it will be of great assistance to have good road network within a place I call my home” Offor urged the Senator.
