He readily showed this at Nchata Akanu as he quickly mobilised with resources and motivated the  Nchara Akanu youths  to completely clear their long abandoned school field used for their sporting and other social activities.


Dailyledger.com.ng reports that for a long while, the field has been abandoned and the grasses overgrown to an extent it became a major concern.


However, Philip-D as he is fondly hailed, a lover of sports  and also a proponent of actively engaging the youths in both sporting and social activities on arriving the community, and noticing the sad state of affairs immediately provided succour to the Nkanu Achara youths to remedy the parlous state of the field 


As one of the frontline Candidates for the Abia State House of Assembly, Ikwuano State Constituency, Iroegbulam has always reiterated that he will be a listening representative of  elected come 2023. 


"Whatever affects the good people of Ikwuano should be given the needed priority it deserves", he affirmed
