THE United Town Agency (UTA) has said that it will construct two modern hospitals, rehabilitate and equip of two primary schools in its first set of rural community projects in Nigeria.

The country president of UTA, Chinyere Amalaha, in her address at a press briefing in Abuja, disclosed that the agency’s immediate plan is to embark on humanitarian activities in the vulnerable rural communities of the FCT.

Amalaha further said that the UTA focus is on scaling up access of FCT rural communities to safe drinking water, qualitative healthcare and education, adding that it is a thing of regret and shame that there are still several rural communities in FCT, Abuja, bereft of basic social amenities.

She pointed out that the choice of the locations of the projects would be determined by UTA Board in consultation with the FCT Traditional Rulers Council.

She said: “We cannot fold our arms and leave everything to the government. Let me say that UTA headquarters in Geneva, for now has not given us money for the projects but they expect us to take the initiative and they will come later to support when they have seen evidence of seriousness and transparency in us.

“It is also within the work plan of UTA to seek to defend the political rights of electorate in the 2023 general election by ensuring that their votes count. Free, fair and transparent election is the bulwark of a democratic government.”

“The UTA would be constructively involved in the electioneering process as an observer. The inalienable rights of the people to vote and be voted for without fear of molestation and inducement must be guaranteed. We will be working closely with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).”

Amalaha, while expressing gratitude said, this is an auspicious moment to express gratitude to the UTA headquarters particularly the Secretary-General, Eya Essif whose support, encouragement and facilitation led to her victory at the just concluded election involving over 100 countries in Geneva, Switzerland.

She added that God made it possible for her to bring the UTA to Nigeria.

“My appointment as UTA President is a call to action and big challenge for Nigeria to join the community of 110 nations to prove its mettle and that we are truly the giant of Africa by taking the lead in the humanitarian projects, human rights protection, United Nations Social Development Goals and Scientific Endeavours which are the hub of UTA’s interventions in various countries around the world.”

The PDP spokesman recalled how the opposition party had on various occasions alerted that the APC government had ceded sovereignty over a large portion of our country to terrorists, “many of whom were imported into our country by the APC.”

He further stated: “From the video, in a brazen manner, terrorists as non-state actors boldly showed their faces, boasting, admitting and confirming their participation in the Kuje Prison break, some of whom were former prison inmates who were either jailed or awaiting trial for their previous terrorism act against our country.

“Nigerians can equally recall the confession by the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai that the APC government knows the plans and whereabouts of the terrorists but failed to act.

According to Ologunagba, about 18,000 Nigerians have been killed by terrorists between 2020 and 2022 “as the criminals continue to be emboldened by the failures and obvious complicity of the APC and to which the PDP had always drawn attention.”

“This is not politics; this is about humanity and leadership, which leadership sadly and unfortunately is missing in our country at this time,” he said.

The PDP added that it is appalled by “the lame response by the apparently helpless, clueless and deflated Buhari Presidency, wherein it told an agonizing nation that President Buhari “has done all and even more than what was expected of him as Commander in Chief by way of morale, material and equipment support to the military…”

“This is a direct admission of incapacity and failure by the Buhari Presidency and the APC. At such a time, in other climes, the President directly leads the charge and takes drastic measures to rescue and protect his citizens.

“In time of adversity, the President transmutes into Consoler-in-Chief to give hope and succour to the citizens. Painfully, Nigeria does not have a President who cares and can stand as Consoler-in-Chief to the citizens.

“It has now become very imperative for Nigerians to take note and realize that the only solution to this unfortunate situation is to hold the APC government accountable. We must come together as a people, irrespective of our political, ethnic and religious affiliations to resist the fascist-leaning tendencies of the APC administration.

Ologunagba called for an urgent meeting of the National Council of State to advise on the way to go over the nation’s worsening insecurity.

“Our nation must not fall. The resilient Nigerian spirit and ‘can-do- attitude’ must be rekindled by all to prevail on the President to immediately and without further delay, accede to the demand by the PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians to convene a special session of the National Council of State to find a lasting solution since the President has, in his own admission, come to his wit’s end,” the PDP spokesman declared.
