The Governor of Abia State, Mr. Alex Otti has inaugurated the reconstruction of 11.1km Obehie-Umudobia-Owaza Road in Ukwa West Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
Mr. Otti disclosed this on Thursday, stating that the road will enhance connectivity and economic opportunities within the community.
“Aside from roads, we are also addressing key issues like power and water supply. I have directed the Honourable Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities to assess the situation and ensure power is restored along the corridor by the end of the month.
“Our water revolution initiative will also extend to Ukwa, ensuring access to clean water for all. Ukwa, the land of “liquid gold”, has endured years of neglect. We, therefore, officially declare that the era of neglect for Ukwa and its communities is behind us,” he said.
The governor pledged that his administration, in collaboration with interventionist agencies like Abia State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ASOPADEC) and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), is poised to restore the lost years and create a prosperous future for Ukwa.
