South East roads needs urgent attention – Osinbajo

Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, at the weekend affirmed that the worst problem bogging down people of the south East zone is the area’s dilapidated road networks.

Speaking while fielding questions from journalists in Enugu, where he attendeda function at the Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherd, Anglican Communion, Professor Osinbajo said the situation is clear to the federal government.

He noted that despite government financial constraint at the moment, there is a need to make improvements on roads in the South East where commerce thrives and people move about a lot to earn their living.

The Vice President disclosed that he had discussed the issue of the roads with Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, adding that the issue was not unknown to the federal government.

” Not just only one problem that the people of the South East have in terms of roads, you know what our financial constraints are, there is a need for improvement on roads where there is a lot of commerce and movement of people.”

Prof Osinbajo noted that there is need to raise the value of naira by discouraging importation of some items.

In a homily at the church, where the Vice President attended a wedding ceremony, Arch. Bishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Anglican Communion, His Grace, Emmanuel Olisa Chukwuma had appealed to the Federal Government to create employment for the teaming unemployed youths in the country who are wallowing in poverty.

He commended President Muhammadu Buhari for fighting corruption in the country.

What the people of that region saw in gej is still a mystery to me.





The way about hassling everyone they see criticizing Gej, one would be forced to say every mega projects of his administration were 'sited' in that region.



We know Gej did nothing in his 6 years.
