From new north we arrive at [00:10:57] Edinburgh East local government area with its [00:11:00] administrative seat anchored in Otwarcher. Historically [00:11:04] prone ecological and infrastructural challenges, [00:11:08] this council has experienced a new lease on [00:11:11] life. Through targeted grassroots interventions, the [00:11:15] local administration has prioritized rural access [00:11:19] roads, health care center rehabilitations and robust [00:11:23] support systems for local. farmers thereby [00:11:26] maximizing the agricultural potential the Amamballa [00:11:30] basing. We have achieved a lot through the support of [00:11:34] Mr. Governor, first of all, he gave us that freedom. That is why [00:11:38] you can see about 2 km road. Who can believe that local [00:11:41] government chairman can build a road, but Mr. Governor made it to be [00:11:45] possible. Have you gone to our drainage where [00:11:48] we are doing erosion control? We are doing it as local [00:11:51] government. Have you gone to the market? That market. market [00:11:55] is the oldest market in that region [00:11:59] region covers for local [00:12:00] government [00:12:05] west, i'm proud to say that i'm the one giving my people a new [00:12:09] ultramodern market adding value because tell [00:12:12] you what will you do to add value? you see [00:12:16] another weather station in partnership with [00:12:20] as local government chairman to the help of mr governor we b [00:12:24] that met station because you know our place is [00:12:28] a flood prone area so that met will [00:12:31] help the farmers when to cultivate and when to [00:12:35] harvest [00:12:38] we have built that road [00:12:41] between east and west job is going on [00:12:45] there work is going on there with the help of mr [00:12:48] governor i'm trying to make sure that we have [00:12:52] total peace a is by doing bandaries, all [00:12:56] those land disputes, all these things [00:12:59] is because he gave us the opportunity [00:13:02] and [00:13:04] support. [00:13:08] moving deeper into the riverline terrain with [00:13:12] spotlight and in the west local government area administered [00:13:16] from zam. previously constrained by severe [00:13:19] geographical isolation. this cancel area has [00:13:23] recently broken barriers to aggressive rural integration [00:13:26] policies, the local leadership has successfully [00:13:30] partnered with state security and developmental agencies [00:13:34] to open up hither to inaccessible agrarian [00:13:37] settlements, ensuring that fertilizers, [00:13:41] educational materials and primary healthcare services [00:13:44] reach the most remote fishing and farming hamlets. [00:13:48] when we assumed office, we embacked a lot of [00:13:52] programs that impacted on the constituents. [00:13:56] we lighted up the communities, we have 18 communities and solar [00:14:00] lights of about 100 each community, we also [00:14:04] procur buses for the masses because this area [00:14:07] transport is a bit difficult, they also gave the local [00:14:11] government, did the perimetal [00:14:14] fencing that that we collapsed before we came in, we also did the [00:14:18] security house at the main gate, we check [00:14:22] erations in the secretariate compound. we have about [00:14:26] two balls in [00:14:27] the 10 ws the local government, we did some in the [00:14:31] schools, we did some in the health centers and we did some in the [00:14:35] community. these were highly solar [00:14:39] power b holes that we are articulated around the community to [00:14:42] serve the people. this administration also [00:14:46] procured speed boots to use water [00:14:49] transportation. this speed b take our people to onicha to [00:14:53] asaba to... we also have boat for [00:14:57] security surveillance along our waterways [00:15:00] in health sector we did [00:15:04] two health centers, we did one at, we also [00:15:08] did another one at to help the people [00:15:12] access health care. we also renovated some [00:15:15] health centers like the norma health center, put up the [00:15:19] b hole that was spoken there, in the area of you development we have [00:15:23] trained 50 you. on skill acquisition, the program [00:15:27] is 60% completed because we are waiting to give them [00:15:31] startups, among them are physically [00:15:34] challenged persons our intervention. [00:16:01] now because the governor has made it to be that government has come to the grass [00:16:05] roots next. in our review is demalile [00:16:09] south, proudly headquartered in Ojoto, [00:16:13] renowned for its rich academic heritage and communial [00:16:16] enterprise. Edmil south has leveraged the [00:16:20] new local government autonomy to revamp community led [00:16:24] infrastructural development. Under the watchful eyes of [00:16:28] its elected leadership, the council has rehabilitated and [00:16:32] boosted community police instructures and upgraded [00:16:35] community secondary schools. to meet contemporary learning [00:16:39] standards, i believe that people of he south has f [00:16:43] the impact of solution administration, most especially in human [00:16:47] capital development, infrastructure, education, [00:16:50] health, and we have done a lot, especially touching the impact the [00:16:54] grass. we have trained and empowered more than [00:16:58] 300 people in them south, youth and women, and in terms [00:17:02] the infrastructure activities, some people don't even believe that mayor, [00:17:05] local government chairman can even construct a road no matter whether it's [00:17:09] 50 meter or meter and you can testify this one the roads [00:17:13] consulted to the local government administration this [00:17:17] is all fering roads it helps a lot of people to congest the traffic during [00:17:21] the first f season we have 42 estates in the [00:17:25] experience tight roads in this solution administration [00:17:29] of and the we have constructed health [00:17:32] porters for our people so we have renovated lot of [00:17:35] classrooms but and many [00:17:39] others, you cannot do anything without discussing about [00:17:43] green, livable and prosperous environments. we decided our [00:17:46] guters and we are asking other never local government to [00:17:50] join and assist the government, government cannot do it alone. in line with [00:17:54] Mr. Governor's vision, we have attracted many loss [00:17:57] in south through PPCP, and [00:18:01] that's why east is on the rise and we always been on the rise. [00:18:05] Mr. Governor has done a lot by involving women into [00:18:08] governance, because women can do more better in whatever we do in [00:18:12] government. concluding this first segment [00:18:16] of our documentary series, we turn our focus [00:18:20] to [00:18:21] them north local government area, with its headquarters situated [00:18:24] in Ogidi. being critical, the local [00:18:28] government has experienced a radical turnaround from [00:18:32] infrastructural neglect to active developmental [00:18:35] integration. through strategic grading of rural [00:18:38] f to market roads and the electrification of key [00:18:42] areas, the council is successfully bridging the economic [00:18:46] garb between rural producers and urban [00:18:49] consumers. when i came in [00:18:52] 2024, one the biggest challenge we have [00:18:55] in is waste management [00:18:59] and and was part the mandate [00:19:03] m get to me to separate from [00:19:06] politics. to make sure that is [00:19:09] not involved in what we do here not and um at the same time [00:19:12] keep not clean yeuh at the beginning it [00:19:16] was very happeling task because our people are used [00:19:20] to the old way of doing things dumping refuse in the [00:19:24] drainages and then along the major road at the [00:19:27] midian and so we started cleaning it up and i can [00:19:31] tell you today in not we've gotten it to 60 [00:19:34] 70% um when i came in [00:19:38] 2024 we used to have [00:19:41] minimum of 9 to 10 kidnappings and [00:19:45] today i can tell you the last time we had the issue of kidnapping in [00:19:49] not can go back as almost a year back and that's a [00:19:53] big credit we have uh i think they may not have [00:19:57] more ppcp than any local government [00:20:00] we have seen more roads done in partnership [00:20:04] then is undertaking one ourself a [00:20:09] and and under PPCP we are renovating uh the [00:20:13] biggest motor park the central park, if you [00:20:17] go there now the only thing remaining is just to finish part the [00:20:20] asphalting, we have done with defencing uh, we [00:20:24] are done with installing automated gates, we done with installing of [00:20:28] solar lights, so the remaining the which will be done in next two weeks, [00:20:32] he just to finish the out and m commission [00:20:36] it, if you look at [00:20:38] um in the last awareness award that was done state, the only [00:20:42] local government that was rated higher than [00:20:45] ist i had five awards, then [00:20:49] may not have four. so that goes a long way to say that anything we could do [00:20:53] here within our powers to improve the health of our people will [00:20:57] do it and at the same time we try to push our [00:21:00] people to enroll into the Asia, [00:21:04] this is another state health insurance scheme, if you go outside and take a picture [00:21:07] of and the secretary here, you can see our [00:21:11] new masaludo complex that's newly built, [00:21:15] we have not even commissioned it, then you see the new eg [00:21:18] palace, see the... conference hall here we had to put [00:21:22] lot of work here professor meant well i always thank [00:21:26] him when you are building an area without [00:21:29] foundation the first thing you need to do first is to [00:21:31] lay a foundation and he has laid very solid foundation for us so the man [00:21:35] is doing wonderfully well his policies and plans are working for us [00:21:39] and um think i'm glad and [00:21:43] happy doing him and being chosen to [00:21:46] work with him [00:21:52] Indeed, as these initial reviews [00:21:56] demonstrate, governor Saludos vision the localized [00:21:59] democracy is no longer a theoretical [00:22:02] manifesto, but living reality. As it [00:22:06] is today, the local government system in and state is working [00:22:10] very perfectly. We can see this is first [00:22:14] time in the history of Anand state where a local government chairman [00:22:18] can two kilometer roads. 3 km load, one [00:22:21] point and there about, so it has never [00:22:25] happened, even when I was chairman by 2012, that [00:22:28] was the of PTOB, it has never happened, we are here, no one [00:22:32] thirds even 1 km, but today we can [00:22:36] see what is going on, people are ting roads, they [00:22:40] are building gigantic projects, if you go to markets, many them [00:22:44] are constructing markets, like in and [00:22:46] here he is also constructing a market, he has done a road, so [00:22:50] to governor of anambra state cc [00:22:52] soludo the the the solution we [00:22:56] need at the appropriate time and the solution Nigeria is [00:23:00] yearning for the synergy is clear [00:23:04] while the state handles macro infrastructure the [00:23:08] mayers deliver micro [00:23:10] interventions [00:23:13] rural urban migration pressure drops because remote communities suddenly possess [00:23:17] the road networks dragies and market [00:23:20] accessibility that make leaving and doing business [00:23:24] locally viable. it is proved positive that [00:23:28] when local governments are given autonomy and true leadership, they [00:23:32] changed lives from the ground.
