Rep. Waive Rolls Out Free 24-Hour Broadband Internet In Delta Community

Residents and indigenes of Obi-Ayagha Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State have begun enjoying free 24-hour broadband internet service following the inauguration of a community-wide connectivity project facilitated by the member representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rep. Francis Waive.

The initiative, which provides uninterrupted internet access at no cost to users, is the latest in a series of development projects attracted to the community by the federal lawmaker as part of his commitment to improving education, healthcare, digital inclusion and living standards.

The broadband facility complements an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre earlier established by Rep. Waive to promote digital literacy and expand access to technology among young people in the area.

Community sources said the lawmaker had also single-handedly built the community’s secondary school before it was subsequently taken over by the Delta State government.

In the power sector, Rep. Waive was credited with restoring electricity to Obi-Ayagha in 2019, after the community had remained without public power supply for more than eight years.

Residents described the lawmaker’s interventions as impactful, saying the free broadband internet service would significantly enhance access to education, business opportunities and communication in the community.

Many expressed appreciation for what they described as sustained and people-centred representation, noting that the numerous projects have transformed Obi-Ayagha into one of the fastest-developing rural communities in the constituency.
