*JUST IN:*
*FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVES & AWARDS 2.5 BILLION NAIRA FOR CONSTRUCTION OF EROSION PRONE ROAD LINKING UKPO COMMUNITY WITH ZONE 13 HEADQUARTERS.*

*As FEC Approves and Awards The Road facilitated by Dr Tony Nwoye in Honour of Prince Engr Arthur Eze.*

The Federal Executive Council graciously at the Federal Executive Council Meeting approved the construction of the erosion –prone 2.2 kilometres of road linking Orofia-Uranto Ukpo, the home town of the oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, with the headquarters of Zone 13 police formation in Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The Road was awarded to GTM Construction Limited at the cost of N2.5 Billion Naira.

It will be recalled that Many families living along the road had since vacated as gully erosion had submerged their houses, leaving many of them homeless.

The award for the construction of the road was made possible by the intervention of Dr Tony Nwoye. Inspecting the road with officials of the Federal Ministry of Works last week, the Former Member of the House of Representatives for Anambra East and West, Dr. Tony Nwoye, who attracted the project said the construction of the road was to  appreciate the support he had received from an indigene of Ukpo, Prince Engr Arthur Eze in his political career.

Dr Tony Nwoye said: “This is a very big project that President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government wants to execute for the people of Anambra State, especially Ukpo community and other communities around it.


“As you can see, some of the people who are living here have abandoned their homes because of gully erosion. The road was designed some years ago by the Federal Ministry of Works, Abuja through the Anambra State office of the ministry, but actual construction could not take off.

“Part of the road was completed at a cost of about N100 million and certificate issued, but this is the main one. By the special grace of God, it will be awarded officially before Christmas at the sum of about N2.2 billion.

“I want Ukpo community to hold the contractor that will execute the project accountable to avoid unnecessary delay.

“I facilitated the design of this road and ensured that it is captured in the 2020 and 2021 budget of the federal government. I am doing this in honour of Prince Arthur Eze who has mentored me politically. I am also grateful to the Minister of Works, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, who has vowed that this road must be done.

This is not the first time , Dr Tony Nwoye was facilitating road projects outside his federal constituency and in Ukpo Community. He has facilitated two roads earlier in Ukpo. Dr Tony Nwoye had also facilitated Construction of 6 roads in Nsugbe Community, Umu Oba Anam and currently work is on going at Oroma-Etiti in Anambra west. This is first road Project in that town, courtesy of Dr Tony Nwoye.
