IT is unbelievable that there are no banks from Osubi down to Eku communities in Delta State, even with the presence of our revered kings. It is more pathetic that the present Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly lives in Osubi community.
In the whole of Okpe and Agbon Kingdom, in Okpe and Ethiope-East Local Government Areas of Delta State, there exist no banks. You can only find Amju Unique Microfinance Bank in Eku. The rest is history as our people from the various communities go to Effurun and Agbarho in Uvwie and Ughelli North for banking activities.
In the process, many of our people have lost their lives as a result of bad roads and armed robbery operations.
Our revered leaders should know that our people are really suffering and dying because of the risks they take daily for banking. Let them know that it will not cost them anything to influence banks to their areas. All they need do is to use their positions and contacts, allocate lands free of charges to the banks to commence operations.
Once this is done, it will attract development to the various communities and the lives of our people will improve.
