The traditional ruler of Omor community in Ayamelum Local Government Area, Igwe Chris Oranu has called on governments at all levels to provide more access roads to the people living in rural areas to boost food sufficiency and supply.
The royal father, who made the call during an interactive session with journalists in his palace, noted that in order to address food crisis faced by the residents of the country, there is need for both Federal and State Governments to construct and maintain access roads for easy distribution of farm products from hinterlands to urban areas across the nation.
Ìgwè Oranu while reminding the Anambra State Government that Ayamelum was the food basket of the State and by extension, Nigeria at large urged governments at all levels to focus more in maintaining rural roads, as according to him, if the agrarian communities do not have access roads to bring out what they harvest from their farms, there is no way the food crisis will end.
The Omor traditional ruler regretted the dilapidated nature of the roads leading to Ayamelum Local Government Area, lamenting that the people of the area do incur huge costs on transportation due to inaccessibility of their roads.
He equally applauded Governor Chukwuma Soludo for his steadfastness in infrastructural development across the state and appealed to the State Government to remember Ayamelum Local Government in the area of road construction and maintenance.
