The Coordinator further revealed that “Hon. O’Ben-Etchi has facilitated the employment of over 50 students from the constituency, given special support to law students from the constituency in any tertiary institution and major renovation of several classroom blocks of primary and secondary schools and hospitals within the constituency.”
According to him the group is made up of students from that constituency and disclosed that they as a group have launched a sensitization campaign on the need for the people of Akamkpa 2 State Constituency to vote in Hon. George O’Ben-Etchi again.
