GOV SOLUDO COMMISSIONS REHABILITATED AMANSEA-UGWUOBA OLD ROAD AMIDST JUBILATION AND ENCOMIUMS

By Bona Ogbonna

Earlier today, the executive governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo was in Amansea where he commissioned the rehabilitated 500 metres Amansea-Ugwuoba Old Road undertaken by his administration.

Speaking at a simple event organized to mark the opening of the newly reconstructed road to the road users, Prof. Soludo stated that his administration right from Inauguration day declared "state of emergency" on Anambra roads which are fast falling apart. He maintained that the deplorable portion of the Amansea-Ugwuoba road which spans about 500 metres, as well as it's strategic location as the gate-way into Anambra State from Enugu, spurred him to take up its reconstruction immediately after his swearing-in as the governor.

The governor said that the rehabilitation of the road was financed through the state government's savings from supposed one month expenditure on facility management which was initially budgeted at N137 Million every month. To the admiration of everyone present, the governor asserted that some part of about N126 Million made in savings from the government's expenditure on facility management for one month, was used to fix the death-trap Amansea-Ugwuoba Old Road, stressing that the remaining part of the money would be used judiciously for road rehabilitation in the state.

The governor reiterated the readiness of his administration in championing the noble course of development in the state, cutting cost where necessary.

Some of the dignitaries who joined the governor in the commissioning of the road were the Member representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Chris Azubogu; the Honourable Commissioner for Works, Anambra State, Hon. Ifeanyi Okoma; some of the traditional rulers of Anambra North extraction, members of the Hausa Community in Amansea, amongst others.
