Ugonna Ozurigbo, Deputy Speaker, Imo state House of Assembly I was just minding my business, over the weekend, hovering around the state when in Nwangele Local Government council Headquarters, I spotted this edifice, which I was sure never existed before now. Upon inquiry, I was reliably informed, that this is the proposed Nwangele ICT centre project, being supervised by the member representing Nwangele State constituency and the Deputy Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ugonna Ozurigbo. For the records, this is a constituency project agreed upon by members of the 8th Assembly of Imo State legislature, which is borne out of the ardent desire of the State to catch up with the current realities of the global world which is propelled by Information and Communications Technology. It is on record, that while some Local Government Areas are still mobilising to site, the young and amiable legislator, popularl

Events started from church service in the morning, where he got a surprise bash from the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria (CYON), Holy Cross Parish, Aladimma, where he had variously served in different capacities, including Parish Secretary, Zonal Coordinator in charge of over 29 parishes, and presently, the Editor-in-Chief of Cross Newsletter, a local News Magazine.
