Members of the Federated Neke Autonomous Community (FENAC), in Isi-Uzo  Local Government Area of Enugu  State,  have resolved  to punish any of the sons and daughters who is 18 years and above but fails to register and obtain voter’s card in the ongoing Voters Registration exercise.

  FENAC, therefore, used the forum to urge all religious, political , traditional and leaders  at different levels to mobilise the people for massive participation in the voter’s registration exercise which holds nationwide between 15th and 29th January.

  In addition, the meeting also charged indigenes of Neke community to participate actively in the 2011 political activities  as a means of producing political leaders that would represent them effectively and at the same time provide  them with dividends of democracy.

  Focusing on the developmental stride of the governor of Enugu State, Barrister Sullivan  Chime, the meeting commended him for the progress in the Ugwuogo – Nike – Neke  – Ikem Road, currently under construction, and urged him not to relent until the project is totally completed.
