In a remarkable display of appreciation, Jeremiah Obaji Nworu, an Ebonyi State indigene and businessman based in Lagos, has begun a long-distance trek from Lagos to Abakaliki. The journey, which covers approximately 633 kilometers, commenced on Friday, August 22, 2025.
Nworu stated that the "Trek-a-thon" is a personal mission to express his deep gratitude to Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, for his administration's significant achievements. He specifically highlighted the governor's success in restoring lasting peace to the Effium community, which had been embroiled in a prolonged conflict. Nworu, who hails from Effium, credited the governor's interventions for changing his status from that of a displaced person to a citizen of a new, peaceful autonomous community.
Beyond the peace initiatives, Nworu also pointed to the governor's infrastructural developments, singling out the ongoing construction of the Vanco flyover in Abakaliki. He described the project as a monumental effort that is poised to be one of the finest in Nigeria.
In his statements, Nworu emphasized that he considered this arduous journey the most meaningful way to honor a leader whose accomplishments in a short time have, in his view, surpassed those of previous administrations. He expressed that the trek is a small sacrifice to make for a leader who has brought justice, development, and peace to his homeland.
