G. Our administration introduced the use of Rigid Pavement (Cement) Technology in road construction to guarantee minimum of 30 years life span for concerned roads. Most of the roads we constructed at Aba were done using this technology following our realization, through painstaking research, that to ensure longevity of new roads at Aba we need to ensure that all our roads are solid with double drains that empties into free flowing major drainage facilities that terminates at our already partially dredged storm water collection points.

H. We embarked on massive desilting of drainage-ways (gutters) at Aba and partially dredged waterside river to receive more storm water and prevent flooding of our roads after the usual heavy rainfall we experience for more than 8 months of the year.

I. It is on record that Ikpeazu’s administration commenced the construction of the first ever Abia interchange (flyover) since the creation of the state, at Osisioma Aba.

K. Our administration is actively working on federal government owned Aba-Owerri road Aba with drainage and other works 90% completedL



Recently the Abia State Government donated and distributed 40 units 300 KVA 33/11 transformers to 40 communities in the 17 LGAs, out of 50 units procured to provide and/or boost rural and urban electrification. Efforts are in advanced stage to procure more Transformers for distribution as power is considered key to the industrialization agenda of the administration.

We are also working with the management team of Geometrics Limited and other power providers to ensure early roll out of affordable uninterrupted power supply across the state. The Governor recently joined the Geometrics to visit the Cairo Headquarters of AFREXM bank to explore funding support for Geometrics operation and is at advanced stage of negotiation with other providers.

The administration is currently implementing Ozuitem water scheme to provide potable water to the people of Ozuitem in Bende LGA.

Work is expected to commence on ltem water scheme awarded by the administration.
