Another show of corporate responsibility is on display in Enugu State as the managing director of Peace Mass Transit Chief Sam Maduka Onyishi has completed a 600-meter asphalt link road in the Emene industrial layout Enugu.
The road goes through his company’s workshop and vehicle assembly plant as well as other industries.
The individual project running into millions of Naira was recently commissioned by the Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
The road is the second Chief Onyishi has built.
Governor Ugwuanyi had earlier in March commissioned about 2km road linking Amukwa community in Nsukka Local Government Area to the campus of University of Nigeria Nsukka, (UNN) built singlehandedly by Onyishi to alleviate transport difficulties in the area.
The road has also enhanced economic development and interconnectivity between his community and the university town of Nsukka and UNN.
Ugwuanyi while commissioning the road extolled Chief Maduka Onyishi for the kind gesture, urging other wealthy individuals to borrow a leaf from him.
Onyishi said he cannot afford not to make impact within Enugu city based on the fact that Enugu was the take-off point of Peace Mass Transit.
“These are challenges we have undertaken despite extremely difficult business times in our country. For purpose of history, Enugu is the birth place of PMT and the people are our earliest stakeholders who believed in us, stood by us, grew us and weaned us to the greater Nigeria and ultimately to the world at large.
“Therefore, whatever we can do to improve the lives of Enugu people, we shall not hesitate to do. Is it not said that charity begins at home? It is only natural in our thinking that the greater charity works, our core social responsibility projects are undertaken in parts of Enugu, for the benefit of our people. To God be the Glory.”
