EBSU Students Appreciate Gov. Umahi Over Construction Of Road Leading To The Institution (Photos)

The students of Ebonyi State University, on Thursday, applauded Governor David Nweze Umahi over the construction of road leading to the institution on concrete pavement.

The students appreciated Governor Umahi for the quality of work being done on the road.

In a statement made available to Igbere TV on Thursday, Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Francis Nwaze said it is the major road linking Abakaliki-Ishieke-Enugu old road.

According to him, "It was hitherto a death trap to users and a heartache to students plying it as it was filled with potholes."

"Recall that Governor David Umahi had few months ago, during his campaign for second tenure promised to construct the road to the standard that will make it to last beyond 50 years."

"Truth is, his promise was never to make it a double lane but as the construction goes on, the entire people of the affected communities were thrown into surprise as they discovered that the road is not just made with 8 inches concrete pavement but also dualized thereby, making way for free movement of the road users."

"The most affected people on this development apart from the Ishieke community are the Ebonyi State University students who access their main campus, market and residence through the road."

"Some students during our visit to the construction site appreciated and thanked Gov. Umahi for the quality of work being done on the road."

"Indeed, we are proud to say that we have a brand new Ebonyi State."

SEE ROAD - SEE QUALITY

I’m not from Ebony State but I can confirm to you that this information is 101% correct.

Honestly, sometimes I use to wonder, if is the same allocations that are given to Engr Davi that are given to other states because the quality of roads that he’s building in Ebony State is not cheap.

This one is not someone told me, I witnessed it first hand. This man is using concrete stones, cement, rods etc to build what we can call ordinary road. I was in Ebony State in 2018 and he was building one road close to where I was living. When ever am passing there, I don’t believe what I see with my eyes.

I wish all our leaders can copy this man, and when he finish he’s tenure, he can win presidential or be federal minister of works.

I pray to God to continue to bless him.
Because of him, am proud to say Igbos are lucky sometimes.

Are you blind to see that the road was casted.....my friend that's raw concrete you're seeing there. The more water and sun touches it, the stronger it becomes.

And about the drainage system, that's what he does first before starting any road construction. He's a sound civil engineer that supervises all state projects by himself......not like the olodo who knows nothing about construction that you concurred to his post.

Children of hate!!

Your language is harsh and uncalled for. Was there a feud before now?

The fellow you quoted has asked some valid (to us laymen at least) questions. The pictures show that there are drainage channels on the sides of the road - good to see that this was done. But what of the middle of the road? If there is no drainage in the seperation/divider between the concrete carriageways, what happens over the long term as rainwater and debris collects there?

The civil engineers here should chime in.

I'm Sorry if you find my choice of words a bit harsh, was just in my playful mood....

As for the middle that divided the road, no worry yourself cus he would want to plant flowers or tees there first before constructing the road divider and lighting the place up. Like I said earlier, he supervises his projects by himself and is not the type that abandons any halfway.

I know most of you would think Unahi does Audio projects

If you ever enter Abakaliki at night, u may think its Europe..

He has transformed his village in no time..

He is currently dualizing the road here and building a med sch here

The guy is currently, in my opinion, the best governor in nigeria

That is what it means to appoint a technocrat to office.
A technocrat will get better milage out of resources. If it was a doctor, pastor or career politician handli g those projects yoi can be they will cost 3 times more at the very least and probably be 3 times poorer in quality.

Ordinarily people should vote for performance. Vote people who know stuff. Make our democracy a cerebral one. Leadership of thought, wisdom and mental acumen not one of sentiment.

Oh. I'm glad to hear there's no ill will between you and the other fellow.

I'm still not sure about the road divider and its purpose though. If it was indeed designed for greening - it certainly doesn't look very deep. The roots of any flowers or trees planted there will struggle for nourishment. I would like to see what it looks like a few years from now. I just hope it won't be left the way it is.

I don't know much about EBS governor Umahi and quite a number of other governors across the country. Those on the ground should inform the rest of us about how they perform.

Peace.

Some would find this controversial. Provocative even. Physicians are a proud bunch and do not take
kindly to put downs.

I have nothing to say about clerics and career politicians. cheesy

But your argument is an interesting one. And who's a technocrat anyway? Does that group include lawyers, accountants and economists? Or is it just civil engineers and perhaps architects?

The opening at the middle is a pouch where cables will be laid for street lights, also for the infusion of manure wherein flowers will be planted.

This road can last more than 50 years in my opinion.

It is very solid!

The next governor of Ebonyi State will have less work to do after just maintaining the existing infrastructures.

May God bless Dave Umahi
