I am very happy seeing the joy of the children and pupils in the school and elders who are surprised that just one week after they made the request for the provision of chairs and desks for Ugbalo Primary School that it's being provided today.

"Before coming here this afternoon, I was at Uromi main market where Senator Ordia is finalising arrangements for the installation of solar powered street lights for the market."

In his remarks, the secretary to Ugbalo community, who's also the chairman of Parents/Teachers Association of Ugbalo Primary School, Irrua, Mr. Solomon Egboiyi thanked Senator Ordia for coming to the aid of the school as according to him the pupils were sitting on bare floor before his intervention.
"I feel very happy for the provision of these chairs and note books to our children. My mind is filled with joy because we have not seen anything like this before. It is wonderful and first in history."

Also speaking, the secretary of Ugbalo Youth Association, Isah Odia thanked Senator Ordia for his kind gesture and assured him of their continued support for his political aspirations.

A retired Assistant Director in the Edo State Local Government Service Commission, Comrade Isaac Obi commended Engr. Clifford Ordia and assured him of their continued political support. 

In their various comments, Elder Ben Izeinen, Dr. Igbelokotor Sadoh and James Ugbesea, all commended Senator Clifford Ordia for having the people of Ugbalo in mind in the distribution of the dividends of democracy.
