A central feature of the day was the empowerment program, which saw ten motorcycles awarded to beneficiaries—one from each of the ten political wards within the constituency. These motorcycles were more than mere gifts; they were vital tools that opened new economic opportunities for the recipients, enabling them to embark on ventures that would enhance their livelihoods and support their families.
Hon. Eze's commitment to supporting women’s economic empowerment was equally evident. In line with his vision for grassroots development, he distributed fifteen grinding machines to newly inaugurated women leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). This initiative, which empowers local women entrepreneurs, is expected to boost local businesses and create sustainable financial independence. Additionally, five more grinding machines were awarded to lucky winners, further amplifying the impact of the program on the community's economic landscape.
The most emotional moment of the event came when Hon. Eze presented a tricycle to a young man who had been struggling to make ends meet. This heartfelt gesture went beyond just a donation; it symbolized hope and the possibility of a better future. The young man now has the means to support himself and his family, marking a turning point in his life.
Hon. Eze also placed a strong emphasis on education, launching a comprehensive scholarship program aimed at nurturing the next generation of leaders. Twelve scholarships were awarded to top-performing students from the recent Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations, with one student selected from each of the ten political wards, and two additional students chosen by the Diamond Club of Enugu Ezike. These scholarships, covering tuition from the first to the final year of higher education, represent a significant investment in the future of the community’s youth.
In his address, Hon. Eze encouraged the scholarship recipients to strive for excellence in their studies, stressing that their success would not only justify the investment made in them but also inspire future generations to pursue academic excellence.
Before the groundbreaking ceremony, Hon. Eze had already demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the well-being of his constituents through a Christmas outreach program. He distributed bags of rice to women across Igbo-Eze North, ensuring that families had a joyful and abundant festive season. This act of generosity, often referred to as "stomach infrastructure," alleviated the economic burdens faced by many families, providing much-needed relief during the holidays.
Throughout the event, Hon. Eze also took the opportunity to rally support for the administration of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, crediting the success of his initiatives to the visionary leadership of the state government. He pledged to continue aligning his efforts with the transformative agenda of the Mbah administration, reinforcing the importance of unity in driving progress.
