The president thanked every body that were present and said we should device a way of making this meeting attractive so that others will look for us instead of us looking for them. Many people aired their opinion on how to mobilize our members so that we have a full house in this meeting.
As a way forward, the house resolved that the following personalities of the town be appointed as Ex-officio members of the executives of the town union.
1. Mr.Geoffrey Ozoh.
2. Mr. Ozomma Chris.
3. Sir. SJohnson Oguanya.
The secretary was asked to write official letters to inform them and request their presence in our next sitting.
How to raise fund:
One of the major problems facing the town union is how to fund the activities of the union. A lot of money is being spent by members of the executive on information dissemination (letters, calls, text massages, internet services and so on). All the above expenses, for now, are being spent from personal purse, hence the need to have a consistent way of generating fund for the town union.
Hon. Face Magbo suggested we appeal to some personalities of the town, for financial support, as he is hopeful that many will be willing to support us. Engr. Anonde said we should enforce the payment of one Thousand naira (N1000) by every ward, which the past regime has initiated and that some ward has already paid their own. Many people made their own contribution.
It was agreed that we embark on capital projects first and then spread our tentacles to individuals, government, co-operate bodies and NGOs for financial assistant.
Among the projects agreed upon are building of entrance gate way to Amankwo Road
General:
Mr Ogwu Eva said we are supposed to see the Obuna clan, the donor of the parcel of land for the proposed cottage hospital, and make enquiries on what the people need in compensation for their land. He told us his effort to convince them to release the land. On that issue Mr. Nwabueze Chijioke, the president, suggested that it will be better we have a written authority from Igwe before we can start any negotiation with Obuna clan. It was agreed that we treat the matter at a joint meeting with Igwe and his cabinet.
Engr Silas Anonde said he leant that there is a transformer that is meant for the Amankwo community which is presently at the PHCN office at Enugu
Mr Innocent Okechukwu reported that there was a resolution passed by Igwe and his cabinet enforcing every child from Amankwo indigenes at home, that is up to primary school age to be attending the community primary school. He said the vigilante was empowered to enforce the rule. Members of the town union said they were not aware of such. The issue was postponed till next meeting, which will be a joint meeting with the Igwe and his cabinet on 27th January 2010 . The secretary was asked to inform Igwe in writing of our desire to have a joint sitting with them.
Mr. Emehelu Livinus wants to know about our borehole. Hon. Face magbo said the building of the over head tank for the bore-hole will soon commence.
