The Chairman of Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Works, Dr. Timothy Ifedioramma, made the observation when members of the committee embarked on oversight visit to the project site.

While inspecting the road project alongside other members of the committee, Dr. Ifedioramma explained that the road is part of nine others measuring fourteen point nine kilometers being reconstructed by the Soludo administration.

 

Dr. Ifedioramma observed that the construction firm handling the project is doing a good job and urged them to address issues the committee raised about the drains.
