Women in Mgbara Community, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo, on Tuesday, protested over the proposed siting of African Development Bank (AfDB) project in their community without due consultation. “We respectfully urge AfDB to exercise caution and suspend any engagement or implementation of the proposed project in Mgbara Egbema until concerns of the wider community have been properly addressed,” Ajunwa said. Ajunwa said: “The proposed project has already become a source of serious disagreement, tension and division within the community. The former youth leader said such circumstances could be contrary to the principles of sustainable development, community participation, peace building and responsible development. Furthermore, he said for the project to be accepted, the bank must take their protest seriously as a formal notice of the community’s objection to the proposed project.
