Governor of Abia State, Mr. Alex Otti has announced the commencement of the rehabilitation of Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road.
The governor made this known on his X account formerly Twitter on Thursday, stressing that it will be completed in a year.
“We flagged off the rehabilitation of the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road, a 67.64km road that will be upgraded to a 2-lane asphaltic concrete carriageway with streetlights in the built-up areas and drainages on both sides. The contract will last for twelve (12) months.
“The project is divided into three sections and will be handled by reputable construction companies,” he stated.
According to him, the effort is part of the fulfilment of his government’s social contract with Ndị Abia.
“By improving these vital roads, we are opening up new vistas of economic opportunities and markets for our farmers and traders. We are also reducing the travel time and cost for our commuters and travellers. It will also bring urban and rural communities closer and our local economy will thrive with increased connectivity.”
Governor Otti further stated that it is not just a government project, rather, it is one for the community.
He urged Abians to embrace the development, support the contractors and continue to fulfil civic duties like tax payments.
