Senator Akobundu Lights Up Umuosu Market as Solar Streetlight Project Extends to Isiala Ngwa North Again

The dividends of strong, responsible, responsive and effective representation have again come to the fore in Isiala Ngwa North as the solar-powered streetlight project of the Senator representing Abia Central, Distinguished Senator Austin Akobundu, berths at Umuosu Market.

The installation at Umuosu brings to four the number of locations so far covered in Isiala Ngwa North alone, further reinforcing the Senator’s deliberate strategy of even distribution of projects across all six LGAs in Abia Central Senatorial District.

Beyond illumination, the project addresses two critical needs of rural commerce: security and extended business hours, allowing traders and customers to operate safely beyond dusk and stimulating the local economy.

For the people of Isiala Ngwa North, the intervention is a practical demonstration that representation can be impactful and inclusive when driven by purpose.

“This is what we expect from our representatives: quality and effective representation, not excuses,” a trader said. “Senator Akobundu promised light and he has delivered light. He promised security and he is delivering security.”

Senator Akobundu’s Light-Up Abia Central Initiative has already covered key commercial and community hubs across the zone as follows:

Umuahia South LGA:
• Apumiri Market
• Ahiaukwu Market

Isiala Ngwa North LGA:
• Obikabia Market
• Nkwo Nsulu Market
• Eze Amara Street, Eziama Ntigha
• Umuosu Market
• Ugwumabiri Market, Mbawsi

Ikwuano LGA:
• Ariam Market
• Ndoru Market

• Ekenwobasi Market

With steady progress across the district, Senator Akobundu, who is the ADC flagbearer for Abia Central Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections, continues to match words with action, delivering visible projects that directly impact the lives and livelihoods of his constituents with more communities/markets to be reached in the coming days.

Indeed, effective representation has taken root in Abia Central.
