As Lawmaker lauds governor’s response to abandoned projects, commends Imo Govt.

A member of the Federal House Of Representatives, representing Okigwe North Federal Constituency, Honourable Obinna Onwubuariri has said that the People’s Democratic Party-led government at the state was responsive given the demonstration of commitment to the people’s oriented projects in the state.

In a press statement in Abuja, capital of Nigeria, Hon. Onwubuariri, also the Deputy Chairman of House Committee on Foreign Affairs lauded Governor Emeka Ihedioha’s administration for the eagerness to give Imolites access roads by flagging off the Rural Access And Mobility project (RAMP II) in Imo state.

The lawmaker stated that the objectives of the Rural Access and Mobility Project in Imo are to improve road access for rural communities in Imo state and improve management of the state road network in a sustainable manner. He further stated that there are two components to the project; the first component is the upgrading, rehabilitation and maintenance of transport infrastructure component.

The second component is the institutional strengthening, reforms and capacity building component. This component will focus on supporting project implementation by providing the necessary goods, materials and equipment and by ensuring the existence of the appropriate project management capacity and skills at both the state and local government levels.

The rural transport infrastructure component of the project will support the upgrading, rehabilitation and maintenance of about 380.1km of rural roads selected from the top prioritized intervention areas across the state. The project is estimated to cost about N13.5 Billion and the new roads will spread across the local government areas of the state.

Today, the official flag off Ceremony for the roads in Okigwe zone will take place in Onuimo LGA and will be performed by His Excellency, Governor Emeka Ihedioha.

Indeed, Imo is working again!
