The Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Willie Obiano to direct the Commissioner for Works to complete the construction of Isuanaocha-Amanuke-Achalla road to alleviate the sufferings of the people.
The resolution was sequel to a motion sponsored to that effect by the member representing Awka North Constituency, Chief John Nwokoye during yesterday’s plenary.
House of Assembly Correspondent, Chukwuemeka Modilim was there and reports that Chief Nwokoye lamented that since 2006, the Isuanaocha-Urum-Amanuke-Achalla road was awarded for construction, only nine kilometers of the road has been done, while the rest is still unattended to.
He regretted that the road links the communities to the Awka North Local Government Secretariat but cannot be accessed due to the state of the road.
On his part, the member representing Ogbaru One Constituency, Mr Noble Igwe who expressed worry that the dilapidated state of the road obstructs free movement of goods and services, especially farm produce as the communities in question are basically farmers urged the ministry of works to fix it.
The Chairman, House Committee on Information and Culture, Mr Okechukwu Okoye, the member representing Orumba North Constituency, Chief Emeka Aforka and the member representing Oyi Constituency, Mr Charles Obimma also urged Governor Obiano to direct the Construction Firm handling the project to expedite action on it to give the people a sense of belonging.
Speaker of the House, Right Honourable Uchenna Okafor, expressed confidence that the Executive Arm of Government would do the needful since it places high premium on good road network
