*SENATOR ODUAH: SOLDIERING ON DESPITE COVID-19 DISRUPTIONS.*
The one word for describing the far reaching effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is DISRUPTION and this is specially true as life as we once knew it has witnessed a most dramatic change with individuals, governments and nations going back to the drawing board with a view to tailoring their processes to reflect current realities.
Prior to the pandemic, *PRINCESS STELLA ADAEZE ODUAH* , the Senator representing Anambra North was on a roll with many well thought out plans being announced and some already set in motion but these had to be stalled owing to the uncertainty surrounding the disease and this meant that programs like; a. *the Princess Stella Oduah Female Football Project* that had seen organizers conducting training sessions for teenage girls in the 7 LGA'S which served as a prelude to the much publicized *Stella Oduah Inter-LGA football competition* : b. the fully equipped *Princess Stella Oduah Music School* that aims to inculcate the basic rudiments of music in the minds of our teeming impressionable youths: c. *The Stella Oduah IT project* and a host of others that would require infringing on the lockdown order, had to be suspended in the overriding interest of constituents, health wise.
Someone recently said that Humanity may never be able to truly quantify what it lost to this pandemic and I daresay that everyone, from the little child that has been forced to stay away from school, both private and public school teachers that no longer have a room full of kids to teach, traders forced to sit at home for weeks on end with no new source of income, to governments still working round the clock to adapt to it's unpredictability, has in one way or the other been greatly affected and have had to engage in some serious soul searching, with a view to proffering solutions for the way forward and this explains why Senator Oduah has spent more time and energy exploring ways to ameliorate the plight of constituents as seen in the massive sharing of food items to various groups within the district and the way she has taken a leading role in ensuring constituents do not miss out on the various Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) monetary interventions.
The good Senator did not only draw attention to the various Loan Schemes but she went a step further by setting up a directorate of sorts at her Onitsha North constituency office where constituents were assisted in their application process by well trained staff and to show how much it mattered to her, she organized training sessions for potential beneficiaries of these loans to assist them to build their businesses and properly manage their finance.
The Covid-19 pandemic may have done it's worse but progressive minded persons are unanimous in their belief that things can only get better which would explain why leaders like SENATOR STELLA ODUAH are even now, working round the clock to resume from where they stopped whilst ensuring they adhere strictly to all laid down safety protocols as enshrined by the World Health Organization.
Ezennia Nonso Chukwudebe.
