Bayelsa Councillors Commence Ward Projects

Two councillors in Ogbia Council Area of Bayelsa State have commenced the execution of ward projects in various communities in the area.
The Tide learnt this while monitoring projects executed by Hon. Jerome Williams Ebhela,councillor for Ward 8 and Hon. Kogiaman Ibhe, representing former President Jonathan’s Ward 13 in the Council Area.
Speaking with newsmen,Hon.Jerome Ebhela, who lit up Imiringi community with solar powered lights as part of his ward projects reiterated  his desire to make life more meaningful for his constituents.
“It’s my duty as the councillor representing this ward to, in my little capacity, make life more meaningful for my constituents. The Prosperity government of Senator Douye Diri has given councillors in the state a marching order to execute ward projects in their respective wards, so this is just one of such projects I’ve done and I intend do more for my ward”, he said.
“I’ll replicate a similar project in the sister Elebele community which shares same ward with Imiringi, already I’ve reached the leadership of the community, even if it would cost me my salary as a legislator,I would still have to do a project in that community”, Ebhela added.
The Tide reports that Ward 8 of Ogbia Council Area comprises the two oil producing communities of Imiringi and Elebele.
In the same vein,Hon.Kogiaman Ibhe, councillor representing Ward 13 said he would not abandon any ward project he has started.
The legislator gave this assurance while conducting newsmen round a six- room block under construction in Otuaba community as a public convenience.
He noted that considering the size of his ward, he might not be able to execute projects in all the communities as a result of the paucity of funds, assuring however,that he would continue to impact the lives of his constituents through out his tenure.
The Tide reports that Ward 13 of Ogbia Council Area is made up of Otuoke,Otuabula 1, Ewoi, Otuaba and Otuabula 2.
