The Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s
brave initiative in embarking on the immediate rehabilitation of the
failed sections of the Federal Government road along Oji River – Ugwuoba –
Anambra State border by the old road. The road was reported to have collapsed
partly because of increased stress on it, caused by movement of heavy duty
vehicles, occasioned by the total dilapidation of Enugu-Onitsha expressway, a
situation which has forced more vehicular activities on the road.
Reacting to the decision of the Enugu State Government to
rehabilitate the road, the PDP state chairman, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, said
that it was an indication that “Gov. Ugwuanyi is sensitive to the plight and
yearnings of the people of the state, south east region and the nation at
large.” This came as the Enugu State
Chairman of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON,
Prince Cornelius Nnaji, applauded the efforts of the governor in commencing
work on the road, immediately. Hon. Nnaji said that it was as a result of the
commitment of the present administration in Enugu State to the well-being of
the people that it went the extra mile to commence the rehabilitation of the
road, which he said was in a deplorable state. The ALGON Chairman added that
Gov. Ugwuanyi has, through the recent intervention, distinguished himself
creditably as a true son of the Igbo land who cares for the progress of the
zone. He said that the immediate commencement of work on the road by the
governor would enhance the socio-economic activities of the south east zone,
appealing to the federal government to refund the state the huge amount of
money past administrations used in rehabilitating the said road.
