The women leaders hailed the thoughtful addition with gratitude, as it alleviated any concerns about the logistical challenges of transporting the materials.
The event was marked by an atmosphere of joy and appreciation.
Many of the constituents expressed their admiration for Hon. Akarachi’s efforts to prioritize agriculture and alleviate the pressures of food scarcity. His actions resonated particularly with the women, who play a pivotal role in farming and food production in the various rural areas of Mbaike.
Addressing them , Hon. Akarachi emphasized the importance of agriculture in the economic development of the constituency. He noted that with the right support, Mbaitoli and Ikeduru could become major agricultural hubs in Imo State.
He harped on his vision for the constituency which is for the farmers to have access to the necessary resources to produce at higher levels, ultimately leading to improved living standards in the area.
In addition to the Fertilizer distribution, Hon. Akarachi made another groundbreaking announcement. He pledged a yearly sum of 63 million Naira as a Social Welfare Fund for indigent constituents.

In the light of this, he unveiled plans for a good transport scheme that would ease transportation pressures within the constituency, especially now that fuel pump price is out of range.
According to the release,under this scheme,his constituents would have access to transportation services at a subsidized rate, making it more affordable for people to move goods and travel for work or business.
The Lawmaker’s subsidized transport scheme was equally welcomed by the people, especially traders and farmers who often face challenges, transporting their goods to markets.

He also spoke about his broader vision for development in Mbaitoli and Ikeduru, reiterating his commitment to improving the infrastructure, education, and healthcare systems in the constituency.
The release also states that his plans include building better roads, upgrading schools, and providing more healthcare facilities to ensure that every constituent has access to essential services.
The Fertilizer distribution and the accompanying announcements have been said to be clear indicators of Akarachi’s hands-on approach to governance.
It will be recalled that since assuming office, he has focused on delivering tangible benefits to his people, and his present actions were a continuation of that commitment.
Constituents left the event feeling hopeful about the future. Many praised the Lawmaker for his proactive and people-oriented leadership style, which has brought significant improvements to the constituency.
