In this era when Nigerian politicians have elevated governance to private business, one man has decided to stand out differently.

Hon. Barr. George Ariolu, the Obio/Akpor Council Chairman, instead of lining his pockets like other politicians, has elected to work for the people through infrastructural development.

The Obio /Akpor Council boss has embarked on numerous developmental projects in various communities in the local government area.

Currently, the Council Headquarters at Rumuodomaya where he operates from is like a mini Government House. Chief Nyesom Wike Administrative Block,  an architectural masterpiece completed and equipped by Hon. Ariolu stands regally like Mount Everest at the council. There is also the reconstructed Obio/Akpor Legislative Block now made conducive for legislative businesses. The two imposing edifices have added beauty to the council headquarters.

Aside the council headquarters which is wearing a new look with its perimeter fence, Woji people will soon have a brand new community secondary school comprising of 19 classroom blocks with male/female toilets, teachers and principal offices. The ongoing construction of six classroom blocks at Rumuomoi and second phase of Rumuepirikom Market as well as the Oginigba Market when completed will put smiles in the faces of indigenes and non- indigenes of these communities.

Hon. Ariolu had also embarked on the construction of Mission Road Rumuolumini, Dike Ariolu Street, in addition to fencing of Obio/Akpor hectares of land at Rumuekini. These are projects that have direct bearing on the people.

On account of this superlative performance, deluge of commendations have been coming to the Council Boss.

One of the prominent chiefs of the area, Chief A.A. Worlu of Ekinigbo had severally commended the efforts of the Chairman.
