PLANS TO COMPLETE WITHIN NEXT 3MONTHS

By Kingsley Ezekwelu

The Gov Willie Obiano has said that the Anambra state Government would complete the ongoing Umueje Bridge, Ayamelum Council Area, leading to the Enugwu-Otu Aguleri oil rig with the next three months.
The Governor revealed this when he inspected ongoing construction work on the bridge this afternoon.

The 5-span bridge of 100 meters connects Umueje Community with Enugwu-Otu Community in Anambra East Council Area where there are three Oil fields and one Gas field being undertaken by the Orient Resources Plc.

While inspecting progress of work on the bridge, he observed that work on the bridge has reached eighty percent completion with cross beams to be used already waiting for installation.

Speaking thereafter, Gov Obiano noted that before his administration came on board, there was no access to the oilfields, and said the 13 km road leading to the bridge was strategic because of the prospects it holds for Agricultural development and Oil exploration in the area.

Commending the quality and extent of work already achieved, he assured that his government will provide the funds to ensure that the project was completed on schedule.

He harped on the need for people of Ayamelum and the entire Anambra North Senatorial District to continue to support his administration to sustain its development strides in the area, adding that although the State's resources has dwindled due to the downturn in oil fortunes, the State under his watch will continue to soar in economic prosperity.

The Project Manager of the firm handling the project, Mr Chami Ali promised that with the support of the government, they would deliver the Project according to specifications.

The former Chairman of Ayamelum Council Area, Tony Ifeanya and the immediate Past Chairman of the Council Area, Chief Paul Obiorah said the pace with which the project is progressing goes to re-enforce Governor Obiano's commitment to opening up the highly endowed area and enhancing its economic and agric potentials, assuring him that the area has resolved to give him overwhelming solidarity and support especially with the upcoming Guber election later this year.
