Imeka Oboama, Nguru-Nwenkwo Autonomous Community in Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State came alive recently as former Iwuanyanwu Nationale player, Engineer Chinedu Declan Obiajunwa, commissioned a rural electrification project for the people of Umuimeka. The UK-based ex-footballer, fondly called “King of Mario” by his admirers, described the gesture as part of his commitment to bringing development and light to his community.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Engineer Obiajunwa urged parents to care for their children and invest in their future. He reflected on his humble beginnings and numerous attempts over the years to give back to his people, emphasizing that he would never regret channeling his resources to support the development of Imeka Oboama, Nguru-Nwenkwo Autonomous Community, and Nigeria at large.
Speaking further, the father of the former footballer elder Samuel Obiajuwa expressed delight that his son has carried on the family’s legacy of community service, which the Obiajunwa family has been known for over the centuries. The retired public servant, alongside his younger brother—also a retired public servant—urged the people of Oboama Nguru to remain united and work together for the development of the area.
The project attracted notable community leaders, residents, and supporters who praised the former footballer for his vision and generosity. They described the electrification effort as a major milestone that would positively impact social and economic activities in the area for years to come.
