Today, Obollo Progressive Union (OPU), a sociocultural and development advocacy group comprising progressive-minded Obollo sons and daughters, paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of Udenu Local Government Area — Aka Eze Aka. The visit, which was a notable move towards fostering community development and strengthening government-citizen collaboration, took place at the Udenu LG Secretariat in Obollo Afor.
The OPU delegation, led by prominent members — Emeka Abonyi, Pius Ugwu, and Eze Fredrick, engaged in fruitful discussions with the Chairman aimed at charting a path for sustainable development in the Obollo community and beyond.
In their address, the delegation commended Aka for his commendable strides in governance, noting his impactful leadership and dedication to the growth of Udenu Local Government.

The OPU also expressed their readiness to collaborate with the local government on developmental projects.

Responding to the delegation, Aka expressed his gratitude to the Obollo Progressive Union for their recognition of his administration’s efforts and their genuine commitment to community development. He lauded their proactive approach and pledged the Local Government’s full support in facilitating their proposed initiatives.
“The partnership between the Local Government and Organizations like OPU is essential in driving sustainable development. Together, we can build a future that benefits all our people,” the Mayor remarked.
The advocacy visit underscores the importance of public-private collaborations in addressing the developmental needs of communities. With this renewed partnership between the OPU and Udenu Local Government, the residents of Obollo in particular, and Udenu in general its environs can look forward to impactful projects that will transform the area and empower its people.
