Uzum noted that as the NDDC boss, Ebie had continued to prioritised the welfare of the people by attracting landmark infrastructural development to the area, maintaining that such gestures should be reciprocated by the people through their support for Ebie to ginger him to do more.
He lauded Ebie for attracting and completing the ICT Centre at the Faculty of Law, University of Delta (UNIDEL), Agbor, saying that the installation of modern computers and state of the art Infotech equipment at the centre would boost learning at the university.
Uzum also gave a thump up to Ebie for the construction of the first phase of the failed portion of the Umunede/Umutu Road by the Pan Ocean Flow Station at Owa-Aladinma in Ika North East Local Government Area of the state, just as he said that through the “Light Up Niger Delta Programme” of the NDDC, Ebie had attracted several thousands of solar street lights to Ika Federal Constituency to boost social and economic activities in the area.
He commended Ebie’s unwavering commitment to the provision of potable water in the area by attracting the awards of many NDDC contracts for the drilling of borehole projects in the area, noting that not only would the drive provide clean water for domestic and industrial usages, but that it would curb the spread of water borne diseases associated with stream water.
