From the Governor of Abia State FB page. 👇👇
❤🚧Today, I was delighted to flag off the construction of two significant road projects in Umuahia: the 4.32-kilometre Orpet-Umuafai-Lodu-Ahiaeke Road and the 3.79-kilometre Ahiaeke-Okwuta-Bende Road. These roads will serve as vital conduits for economic and social progress, benefiting thousands of Ndi Abia who depend on them every day.
❤🚧The successful completion of the project will improve transportation for motorists and commuters, create opportunities for artisans and entrepreneurs, bolster businesses in agriculture, real estate, and hospitality, and provide enhanced access to quality amenities for Umuahia's growing population.
❤🚧Our broader vision surpasses constructing roads; it is to transform our cities into a progressive and adaptable urban setting. These projects align with our efforts under the Urban Renewal and Public Transport Project to improve connectivity, reduce transportation costs, and enhance safety for residents. Powered by clean energy, the planned urban mass transit system will complement these developments, ensuring seamless movement across cities like Umuahia and Aba.
❤🚧We encourage collaboration between the contractors and local communities to strengthen the economic value chain, while the State Ministry of Works will ensure quality control and adherence to project timelines. As always, development requires collective effort. I urge Ndi Abia to continue supporting the administration through prompt and regular payment of taxes and levies.
❤🚧I also took note of the request from the Honourable Member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, Hon. Obi Aguocha, regarding the Ofeke-Azueke Okporoenyi Road. I have directed the Honourable Commissioner for Works to conduct a detailed assessment of the road, enabling us to seek approval from the House of Assembly for a virement or incorporate the project into the supplementary budget.
❤🚧When we return in nine months to commission these roads, we expect remarkable progress and positive feedback. Special thanks to our host, the good people of Ndume Ibeku for their unwavering support. Together, we can build the New Abia of our dreams.
