The students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University have called on the government for rescue as the 24-hour busy Ifite road that leads to the school is now officially a death trap!!

The road which draws its terminal from the popular Aroma Junction Awka was submerged by flood yesterday as the early morning heavy rain which woke the residents lasted for five solid hours unstopped. As the contumacious rain sustained its tempo, and even aggravated, the naïve students, lecturers, motorists and other road users who had waited endlessly were seen dangling and staggering in the pool of flood.

Some Keke (tricycle), motorcycles and school shuttles were submerged and abandoned in the pool of flood as they could not scare through the augmenting huddle, while some students had there well-pressed trousers saturated and even stained when they wanted to take it by force.

Governor Willie Obiano had earlier on 25th June 2016 promised to improve the condition of the deplorable and shabby road and to beautify it with solar street lights, during one of his visits to the school where he joined the management and the students in the 'end-of-month' usual sanitation exercise at the filthy Ifite school gate. Work had already begun, but the contractor handling the road was said to be very sluggish which made him delay the work till the surprise arrival of the rainy season.

Reacting to the ugly situation, the Speaker of the school's Students Assembly, the legislative arm of the Students Union Government, Hon. Uchechukwu Okwuchukwu decried the sluggish tempo with which the work is being handled, and called on the the said contractor handling the work to speed up his pace in order to avert the students the negative side of the rainy season, which will soon arrive in it's main form!

Hon. Uche said: "They should do us good by speeding up the pace of the work and ensure its completion before the full arrival of the rainy season"

Students and the management of the school hereby call on the government to rush to their rescue and save the road from the impending doom, as the main rainy season is yet to arrive.

The road connects Ifite, Commissioner Quarters, Unizik Perm-Site school gate, Agu Awka, Amaenyi and other villages in the Awka metropolis.

They are crying in vain. The Nigerian governments are known to be deaf and unresponsive.

Awka dun cast. Jee juo Bosalin

Waoo

During Obi's tenure that road was fixed but the thing is more students have started living in that ifitte leaving Temp site, Obiano should better work that road oo, Cos fine babes too plenty for ifitte

I give up mehnnnn

why is the govt delaying in fixing this road? Even the university, why can't they fix the road. smh

Wait o. Is UNIZIK not in Anambra State? I thought some paid obiano political jobbers often tell us that all the roads in Anambra state are tarred with gold. So why are they calling on the federal government to repair a road that has supposedly been tarred with marbles by obiano?


We Igbos need to start telling ourselves in truth. We Igbos should stop deceiving ourselves and face the reality of the extreme underdevelpoment in Alaigbo

Now they're begging government.
when you were claiming boss, because their hostel get tiles for ceiling.
you beg government!
shut up! and come to TEMP-SITE!

Where your Governor, you give stqte governments too many pass

Ifite has the worst road in the whole of Awka since time immemorial.

Awka dun cast. Jee juo Bosalin

Kedu ebe that guy no sef?

I could remember vividly how horrible it was back then when I first travelled down to school as a fresher

A couple of years more, the road was fixed and became motorable. Saddened to see it like this just few years after graduation.


Oh, good old perm site

No fukin drainage ffs, why won't the road cast.
If they try to displace those shop owners and stick to urban masterplan (if awka has one)
They will complain and threaten to vote pdp or apc.
Sometimes we are our own problem smh.

this is too bad

Anambra state should do something before it,s too late.I thought Willie is working.

That road is on erosion site...they're still channelling the water out of there

We really have the worst set of leaders. How can providing basic amenity become so difficult? We have the funds to carry out the project as well as the manpower.

This is waterway!!!!
