“I can see and feel marginalization in Udi North and my vision is to change the fortunes of the people of the area for good, that is why most of our projects in the areas of water, roads, and electricity are sited in places where the people cannot help themselves,” he said.

The Deputy Senate President further stated that the first water project he attracted as a senator, which was sited at Nze in Udi North, helped to ease some of the difficulties faced by residents of the area.
