In a move that shows a commitment to the well-being of the citizens, Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo has taken a decisive action to address the gully erosion on Nnobi axis of the Nnobi-Nkpor Federal Highway.
Recall that on September 5, 2023, Governor Soludo paid an on-the-spot assessment visit to the portion where he immediately promised to mobilize and commence intervention on the federal road.
The severed road is a major road which connects the entire Onitsha and Idemili to Nnobi, Nnokwa, Nnewi, Aguata and most of Anambra south and the Country at large.
A team of experts from the State’s Ministry of Works, led by the Commissioner, Engr Ifeanyi Okoma quickly mobilized to assess the road’s deplorable condition and came up with a comprehensive remedial plan to address it.
The remedial measures taken by Governor Soludo’s administration in response to the failed road will significantly improve accessibility, safety, and the overall driving experience for the people. Without the Governor’s timely intervention, the road which had been cut off will have continued to be a source of frustration and safety concerns.
As a result of his leadership, commuters, and road users will breathe a sigh of relief as they will begin to travel with ease and confidence on the reconstructed road.
Indeed, the Governor has set a positive example of what responsible governance looks like and demonstrated how leaders can use their position to prioritize the needs of their people.
