Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has revealed that his administration has commenced and delivered no fewer than 150 roads in the past seven years since it came on board.

The governor also hinted that at the moment, about 48 road projects across the state are at their advance stages which he hopes will be completed before the end of the administration next year.

The governor who spoke in a state-wide broadcast as part of activities marking the 31st anniversary since the creation of the state noted that the projects executed by his administration will serve as monuments to the work his leadership did after the expiration of his tenure.

He said, "We have over 150 roads which our administration has commenced and delivered in the course of our tenure. We are strongly advancing work on another 48 roads and we have a target to finish them before we hand them over to the next administration by May 29, 2023.

"One aspect of these projects I am proud of is their strategic significance and economic importance. A project like the Osisioma Interchange has forever changed the trafficking narrative at that junction.

"Users of that road in recent years will recall how they were often condemned to spend hours in traffic due to the lockdown on the road at peak periods. Today, that episode is in the past as there is now a guaranteed seamless flow of traffic along the axis in addition to the aesthetic uplift of the general environment.

"The adjoining Aba Owerri Road which also hitherto used to be a nightmare has been rebuilt and expanded with relevant road furnishings installed.

"Roads abutting the Aba Owerri road have also been opened up to ventilate the city of Aba.

"We have a solid Abayi Umueze-ABSUTH road built with our signature rigid pavement technology that is a beauty. The perennial swamp along that axis leading to recurrent road failure has been decisively resolved. Kamalu , MCC and Eziukwu roads are all our signature projects. Down Okpu Umuobo road, we are completing and bringing back the old road that leads to Mgboko Obingwa LGA Secretariat from where motorists can join the new Obikabia – Obikabia Road and emerge at the Enugu – Port Harcourt Expressway.

"Our work in other areas of Aba are equally heartwarming for their strategic importance. Osusu, Imaculate, Milverton, Azikiwe, Ukaegbu, Ehere, Umuola, Ebenma, Egege, Opobo, Okigwe, Chima Nwafor Road and other roads we have built around the city are all of immeasurable importance to the continued economic vibrancy of Aba. We have advanced work on the Ngwa Road axis where we have constructed 6 internal roads so far. We are hard at work on Omuma, Obohia, Ohanku, Uratta and Port Harcourt roads which we will complete before we leave office.

"Today, for the first time in over 30 years, our major markets in Aba are now accessible by road. The Eziukwu Cemetery road leading to the popular Cemetery Market which had long been forgotten is now fully rebuilt and back to life and it is easy now to connect that market from Aba-Owerri road seamlessly. Same goes for the Ngwa Road Market and the Ariaria International Market.

Do better my brother

Is this true?









Why I'm I doubting this news

Nice one

Maybe it's not the same Abia I know.
That state has the worst roads. Imagine having to go through Imo state to Access Umuahia from Port Harcourt all cus no road.
Journey of 45 mins turned 4hrs.

Ikpeazu is good example of a shameless man.


150 audio roads indeed

Years later, this guy too would come as a presidential candidate and would claim to be the best governor ever produced in his region, dishing out stats and figures.
Sorrifully, people would hail...

The worst governor in the history of the world.

One of the worst governor Nigeria has ever produced. Shame on you Ikpeazu.

Why are people against what is right?
How will a sane person support Tinubu over Osibanjo and now supporting the same ancestral spirit against Obi


Will you allow your own grand father or father who is peeing on his body and cannot even carry himself around to do any hard work? Ruling Nigeria is a very hard work and thus Tinubu should not be allowed to rule the country.



I stand for a wise vote

I stand for Peter G. Obi

So this disaster of a governor has a PhD ? Lol

Have you given your people their 500 Naira today

Look at this failed governor telling his achievement to the birds in the Forest.

Abia is more developed than Anambra. Obi did nothing in Anambra. Ngige even try small while Obiano was the first governor to build street light in the state.

Go and verify.

Really?
Fact checkers over to you

Abians at Abia we in Nairaland needs confirmation from your end...
Is the governor saying the truth

Come show me

He tried in road infrastructural development in Abia.

This man started well but ending as a disaster

150roads, and abians are still complaining of very bad roads, perhaps someone from abia state should enlighten me more on the state of road infrastructure over there

Wike errand boy.

Abia remains the most useless state with gullible citizens. Ikpeazu and ortom remains the worst performing governor's in Nigeria and yet they are not ashamed following Wike around.

Is he back from his foreign holiday with wike

150 roads in 7yrs kill you there. Ndi ala

Please can somebody help me?
Where are the roads?

This man is insane , zero infrastructure like the crazeman in Ogun.
