EBONYI FLYOVER: UMAHI, THE INFRASTRUCTURE MASTER.

BY Philip Nweze

If there is any monument that will clinch the outstanding structure award for 2017, it is the recently built twin flyover bridge at the Akanu Ibiam junction, in Abakaliki. To anyone who has been to the scene, this probably comes as no surprise. Built as a solution to the traffic snarl at the ever busy junction, the structure remains one of d greatest engineering feats of the 21st century. The bridge which situates at the heart of the city is simply a marvel to behold. Built, along two others for a reported 700 million naira, which seems remarkable value for money, it opened for traffic this year.

An estimated 10, 000 motorists use the route daily. The twin bridge is beautifully defined by installation of decorative lights adorning the bridge and a water fountain which reflects myriads of colours that dazzles passersby, especially by nightfall..

The Akanu Ibiam Flyover Bridge was conceived to reduce the surging traffic pressure along the Trans-Sahara Highway, amidst criticisms from the opposition camp. Unknown to these people, cities are measured by the volume of infrastructure they possess.Flyovers are not only the superstars of the engineering world. They influence the development of cultures, environments and lives in more ways than we can count. Its structure also shapes our lives, aiding commerce, social life and urban development.

A flyover in Ebony will help the state zoom ahead in development and pave the way to our progress. To the citizens, it will minimize congestion, reduce travel time.

Today, even the governor's most trenchant critics have joined in the beautiful refrain hailing this architectural masterpiece.

Akubaraoha is working, Ebonyi is on the rise.

There are 13 local government areas in Ebonyi state,but U ppl want to suffocate us with propaganda just because Umahi tarred some roads and did street lighting in d state capital,which is a tiny part of Abakaliki and Ebonyi local government areas.
Meanwhile, even hawkers whose whole wares amount to less than 1000naira now pay tax in Ebonyi state now,civil servants have their salaries slashed into 2 with d same tax and yet nothing is happening in any other place in d state apart from d state capital and Uburu where U and the governor come from.
In everything you are doing, remember diaris Godu oooo.

infrastructural master just because 2 flyovers at most. amosun built 10 in Ogun state and we didn't give him title. we are still bashing him

now umahi is about to mortgage ebonyi with the proposed heavy loan. let me keep my mouth shut before the bite me

The op is chief propagandanist of Dave umahi,
i am yet to see the aim of building 3 flyovers in low populated Ebonyi,
he should have used that money to build a world class secondary schools in the 13 LGAS or build the 3 mega general hospitals in the 3 senatorial districts in the state.

SOS

did you just say a master, he's a criminal

Well I don't like to compare with other governors. But with one flyover, maybe the first in Ebonyi, you can't call him infrastructure master.
What then do you call people like Ambode.

A little development here, a little development there.

That is how Nigeria will develop.
