(7). That Sen. Orji also provided his constituents with means of steady income by empowering indigent traders, transporters and artisans with 20 sewing machines, 20 grinding machines, 20 2.5 KVA generating sets, eight tricycles, (Keke), 14 motorcycles, two 18-seater buses, 15 wheel chairs and 100 liquid fertilizers to farmers, which the Abia State Ministry of Agriculture said will enrich over 200, 000 hectares of farm land.(8). That with 200,000 hectares of farm land enriched in Abia Central where Sen. Orji had already revolutionized farming with donation of tractors and other mechanized farming equipment to farmers while he was state governor, the Operation Feed the Nation project initiated by Olusegun Obasanjo military government in 1978 was just a child play.
(9). Unknown to many, Abia State was ranked number six state in Nigeria by UNESCO with highest literacy level in 2015; a feat accomplished by Sen. Orji while he was serving as Abia State governor through the construction and renovation of 44 schools – primary and secondary – across the 17 local government areas of the State.
(10). To ensure that Abia State further excels in subsequent UNESCO rating, Sen. Orji has also created a scholarship scheme that will take care of indigent undergraduates of all disciplines from Abia Central Senatorial District annual scholarship. This programme which is designed to produce 240 graduates in four years kicked off last year with scholarship awarded to 60 undergraduates – 10 each from the six LGAs that make up Abia Central. These were also followed by federal employment for six Abia Central senatorial district graduates as well as complete painting and fencing of women’s town hall Umuamayinta Community in Isiala Ngwa South LGA in one year of Ochendo as Senator Orji is referred to by his teeming fans as Abia Central Senatorial District representative at the Red Chambers of the National Assembly.
