The twenty-six-point six-kilometer Amansea-Ntokor-Ndiukwuenu-Awa-Ufuma Road has been officially commissioned for public use.
The road which was commissioned in brief ceremonies was awarded and flagged-off for construction by Governor Chukwuma Soludo in September, 2022 and is very critical in his quest to make Anambra State a prosperous homeland.
Governor Soludo and his entourage made stops at the various communities where the road crisscrossed and was received by a mammoth crowd who sang, danced, among other colourful displays to showcase their joy.
According to Governor Soludo, development is project Anambra and does not consider party affiliations or religious inclinations, stressing that the priority of the All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is to lift everyone out of poverty in line with the party’s mantra of “be your brother’s keeper”.
While reminding the community members that the road was a major request they made during the gubernatorial election campaign, Governor Soludo assured that his administration will continue to prioritize needs, with a view to delivering services to the people.
The Governor pointed out that a new city will emerge along the route, adding that the design of the city is already on course.
In his remarks, the Transition Committee Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area, Sir Ogechukwu Ekwueme pledged that the area will keep supporting and praying for the Governor to succeed.
The Traditional Ruler of Awa, Igwe Israel Ezue, the President-General of Awa, Chief Raymond Ofor, his Ufuma counterparts, Retired Commodore Clement Ofor, revealed that they started requesting for the road since 1978, and applauded Governor Soludo for the breaking the age-long jinx.
Highpoint of the exercise was cutting of tape by the various community members and residents of the area, assisted by the Governor Soludo.
