A community leader, High Chief Charles Okonkwo, the Odogwu of Ibusa showered encomiums to Pastor Okeze for attracting such projects to his people.
Chief Okonkwo commended the Ibusa born Philanthropist Pastor Idowu Okeze for using his network to attract Multi-Million naira roads projects through personal sacrifices to uplift his people and by intense networking with relevant federal government’s agencies to bring dividends of democracy to his constituents through the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The roads are Umueze Farm road from Anioshe Primary School through Ashianta to Umukanyi Road up to Ashieke Umuisagba end road all with side drains.
