An All Progressives Congress House of Representatives female aspirant for the UghelliNorth/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency, Obukome Ibru-Umukoro, says If elected she will implement a blueprint for the immediate growth of her constituency.

Ms Ibru-Umukoro stated this on Thursday in Udu, Udu local government, while declaring her intention to serve the people of Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency at the House of Representative.

Ms Ibru-Umukoro, who promised people-orientated legislation, said her blueprint will cover education, provision of potable water, instant health care, empowerment of women and young girls, foreign investment upscaling, police reforms, and education turnarounds.

She also promised to improve education and provide “a safe school environment for our children.”

“Water is essential to life and good health. We will work on the sustained provision of potable drinkable water for our communities. This will have an immediate impact at reducing healthcare issues in these areas,” the APC aspirant added. ”This is a service that we have provided for several years for a large number of the elderly among us. We will ramp up this initiative to include all areas within our jurisdiction. We will carry out an immediate clean up of our general hospitals to give them a facelift.”

Ms Ibru-Umukoro also harped on training and re-training medical personnel, introduction of regular visits by foreign-based medical teams on free medical outreach missions.

“The need for empowerment for women and girl children cannot be overemphasised. They are not just more vulnerable, they are indeed block-builders, supporting even the men. We will expose them to enhanced opportunities to earn revenue, using their acquired skills and avail them of opportunities for funding to start or grow their businesses,” she noted.

Ms Ibru-Umukoro explained that foreign investment would be a much-needed solution to improving the business climate of Nigeria.

“We will use our several years of knowledge of the foreign business/finance terrain to attract investment and investors to the country, Delta included. We are already in talks with several foreign investment entities on the business opportunities and possibilities in Nigeria,” she promised. ”We are working with our foreign partners to ensure that Delta state becomes an investor’s first choice destination. We are also working with foreign consultants on developing Delta state as a tourism and technology hub, so that we can discover and encourage our own technical gurus to emerge.”
