The people of in OyiAwkuzu Local Government Area have appreciated Governor Chukwuma Soludo for the construction of the two point five kilometers Ogbo express by Mkpu John Ogwo in Awkuzu.
The people made their feelings known while speaking with ABS Works Correspondent Ngozi Obileri who monitored progress of work on the road.
Earthwork has been completed on the Ogbo express-Owummili-Mkpu John Ogwo road except for a small portion where sand filling was still ongoing.
Drainage construction has also been completed on the road.
Reacting on the development, some indigenes of Ivite Awkuzu where the road construction is going on Messrs Bennett Ogamba and Tochukwu Igweze, thanked Governor Soludo for harkening to their yearnings and aspiration by giving attention to the road, saying he has done something they cannot forget easily.

The Transition Committee Chairman for Oyi council area, Mr Emmanuel Nweke was excited that the era of flooding of the road and people’s houses are over, following the construction of the road.
Mr Nweke explained that both human and vehicular movements in the area were difficult before now, thanking the Governor for coming to their aid.
