U never hear "Aba n'anya" - Aba and eyes.

The guy has started stealing money.

Hope this is not an avenue to dredge away state funds.

He wants to make that particular place attractive.

Rehabilitate Enyimba hotel and build another bridge to transverse from around Zone 6 to the other side of the river around Old Unilever.

Have you heard this saying before, "ABA NA ANYA"?

@ topic, Ikpeazu's image makers on Nairaland should please try and show his developmental works in other parts of Abia State because they may end up making us believe the governor is ABA State governor

why dredging a local canal.. called river... will it be of economic importance to the people of abia...will it accommodate cargo vessels or oil and gas vessel.. while dredge a cannal without proper concrete plan because sooner or later the dredged particles and materials will find its way back to the cannal..millions of nigeria money will be wasted to this elephant project

Abia has a Hero in this man. When will Osun get theirs

Good work

Do u know Aba river at all?

T.A dregded the other side of it with tiny flow path like this one, the other side of Okpu-Umuobo waterside, and it kinda looked good and people relaxed at the banks as relaxation spots.

Beside Aba river, there are some parts of it that is very large, like if u follow from Aba Malting plant down to the Hausa Cow base near Waterside Bridge, that part of the river is so large, if the river could be dredged from there to the inner parts, it could be used for inland transportation.
From there u touch to back of Glass Industry to Aba malting plant and even as far as Onumiri in Okpu side.

It will cost money tho, but if that kind money dey, people could be using that water way to move with speed boats and its likes.

Had a good laugh

This man should pay retirees and not start now painting the clouds

Doing something/anything will be a waste of time and resources if it will not impact the lives of the people. #MotiveMatters.

Leave natural waterways alone and build over or around it. Otherwise nature will find another way to make nature happen which can be disastrous

do you know what dredging means?

The only reason of dredging is to create a channel for free flow of water from Aba town b/c the drainage channel has all been stuffed with sand at the waterside/carnal.

When you stop hating!

Okay, Abia realy need change ASAP!

W abians need the change and we hav gotten it..Now the question is " Will the change last ? or will it be like the former governors few months initial gra gra

That is not dredging.

He is simply clearing the water surface for free flow of water to prevent flooding.
