•Ignites new economic era in Ezinihitte LGA
Amby Uneze in Owerri
The people of Onicha Amairi in Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State witnessed a historic milestone on Monday, June 29, 2026, as Senator Bright Nwanne formally handed over the ultra-modern Isi Nze Nwamara Motor Park to the Imo State Government for public use, reaffirming his commitment to sustainable development and the collective welfare of his people.
The commissioning and official handover of the landmark facility represented far more than the unveiling of a modern transport terminal.
It marked the emergence of a major commercial and economic hub strategically designed to stimulate trade, create jobs, improve transportation, strengthen security, and position Onicha Amairi in Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area as a gateway connecting communities within Imo State and major cities across Nigeria.
The event attracted traditional rulers, political leaders, government officials, transport operators, business owners, youth organisations, women groups, and community stakeholders, who described the project as one of the most significant privately funded infrastructural investments ever undertaken in the Mbaise region.
Commissioning the project, the Executive Chairman of Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area, Chief Chinedu Nwachukwu, applauded Senator Nwanne for what he described as an extraordinary demonstration of visionary and selfless leadership.
According to the council chairman, genuine leadership is measured not by political promises but by enduring investments that improve the quality of life of ordinary citizens.
He described the Motor Park as a transformational project that would reshape the economic landscape of the area while inspiring future generations of leaders to embrace people-centred development.
He prayed for God’s continued protection, wisdom, and blessings upon Senator Nwanne and his family, and appealed to the traditional institution and the people of area to safeguard the facility through peace, unity, and collective ownership.
