Through the efforts of the chairman, there was a seize fire, and that has enhanced so serious relationship between the two neighborhouring states; Benue and Ebonyi.

“And the second committee, the homeland security have helped to tackle the issues of social vices among the youths of the local government, especially cultism and bickering.

“On the recent security breach and attack on the chairman. We leave it for the security agencies to do their job. I plead with those that is behind it, will understand that we are brothers and we shouldn’t be attacking each other. We should allow peace to reign in Ohaukwu LGA, so that people will enjoy the dividend of democracy that the governor, Francis Nwifuru is giving us.
