Obiano shocks opposition, kick starts road infrastructural Projects across State

www.odogwublog.com reports that strange as it may sound, Governor Willie Obiano has woken from all the criticism and he is constructing road infrastructural projects everywhere in every senatorial zone.
Obiano’s administration aims to bring economic prosperity to the hinterlands by ensuring easy evacuation of Agricultural products which they produce.

A statement from the government house quotes Governor Obiano as assuring roads would be brekete before election.
Obiano was speaking when he inspected ongoing construction work on the 16 kilometer Isuaniocha-Urum-Achalla road being executed by his administration.

www.odogwublog.com reports further that a 10.1 kilometer stretch on the road has been asphalted, while clearing and removal of stumps was ongoing on the remaining 5.9 kilometers.

Speaking after he inspected the project, Governor Obiano expressed satisfaction with what he saw on ground and said more money will be released later this month for work to continue on the site.

He said having identified poor road infrastructure as a major challenge facing most Agrarian communities, his administration has decided to embark on construction of productive roads not only to boost the economy of the rural communities but also to contribute towards the growth of the State IGR.

The Chairman of the Contracting Firm handling the project, Chief Leo Okoye said they target to start piling work on the Ezigboekwu River, Achalla this month while work on the bridge proper will start by the coming of the rains to connect the already asphalted area with the rest of the road and assured that they are committed to handing over the project in the next six months.

Governor Obiano also inspected construction work on the 2kilometer Uke-Nnobi -Nkpor Junction Road where he explained that although it is short, the road when completed, will reduce traffic at the Nnobi and Nkpor junctions by creating alternative routes for motorists, saying he was impressed with the extent of work covered already.

The Contractor handling the project, Mr Nassir Norsh who said they commenced the project last year, assured that they have the men and machineries to deliver the Project in one month.

In their separate remarks, the Member representing Idemili North in the State Assembly, Mr Francis Nmegbuanaeze and the President General, Ogidi Union, Mr Jideofor Onubogu commended the quality of work done on the road and said it is because of all he is doing for the people of Idemmili that the people are strongly behind his second term bid.

Also speaking, the Traditional Ruler of Uke, Igwe Charles Agballa and the Vicar, St Luke's Parish Uke,  Reverend Gabriel Ekekwe said the peace which Governor Obiano entrenched in Uke by recognizing its traditional leadership has opened the door to many positive advancements in the community and thanked him for keeping to his promise to construct the road.
