A member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, representing Awka South 1 Constituency, Henry Mbachu says sustainable approach remains key to tackling poverty in Nigeria.
Mbachu said this in one of his recent Constituency outreaches during a tour of some markets where he noted that the level of poverty and inequality threatens national security, stability and unity.
Mbachu in his continued populist representation, has been focused on the people, especially the poor who live below the poverty line distributing seed capitals to local market men and women.
“The impact of the activities of these petty traders on the local economy is so enormous that one would wonder how such capital base of 10,000 Naira can make a huge difference in people’s lives,” he decried.
He emphasised on creating more job opportunities for the underprivileged, implementing economic and institutional reforms for efficiency, which would in turn elevate incomes.
“I also call on young people to come and assist the government in the fight against corruption by being active partners in the development and growth of their local communities.
“Well to do people should be done with *’Dorime’* and 21 Years Liquor. The cost of one bottle of exotic drink can end excruciating poverty in many families”, he implored.
