The Member representing Aba North and Aba South Federal Constituency, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh, as part of his efforts to bring succour to his constituents, has launched a free transportation scheme for students, traders, and residents of Aba.
The free transport scheme which has kicked off, will provide free transport services to interested commuters with all running costs borne by Hon. Ikwechegh.
Two new coaster buses have been stationed at the Constituency office, 59 Pound Road by Georges, Aba, to facilitate this initiative.
The lawmaker said, “I am thrilled to launch this free transportation scheme, which will bring succour to our students, traders, and every inhabitant of our dear Aba city.
“I am not oblivious to the daunting economic burden that everyone currently bears. However, I am committed to doing whatever is within my capacity to quell or minimise the biting economic conundrum that has befallen us during this period.”
He underscores his commitment to the welfare and well-being of his constituents despite the current economic difficulties.
He however urged interested constituents to take advantage of this initiative.
Apart from the free transportation scheme, the lawmaker will also distribute 16 electricity transformers to areas within the Constituency where they are needed, as some neighbourhoods have not had electricity for years because of lack of transformers.
