Motorists and other road users are expressing joy as the erosion site
at Oraifite-Nnewi road has begun to receive attention.

Development Authority, Venerable Amaechi Okwosa and his London based
charity group, New Bethel Christian Center.

Correspondent, Valentine Mbadugha who was at the site to survey the
environment, reports that it was all smiles on the faces of motorists,
tipper drivers, okada riders and many others who ply the only major
road linking Nnewi and Oraifite.

Nnewi is a major commercial city in Nigeria and attracts people from
around the world on daily basis.

ABS gathered that the people of Oraifite, Ichi, Akwa-Ukwu and other
neighbouring communities use to experience hardship trying to connect
with Nnewi for their daily activities, as a result of bad condition of
the road due to erosion caused by heavy flooding.

Expressing their joy, some road users, including a tiper driver, Mr.
Godwin Okopi, an okada rider, Mr. Thaddeus Ede and another road user,
Mr. Godwin Ubabuko appreciated the benefactor for coming to their
rescue. 

Earlier while inspecting the ongoing project, the benefactor and the
managing Director, Awka Capital Territory Development Authority,
Venerable Amaechi Okwosa,  said  that he embarked on the project with
the help of his London based charity organization to assist the state
government in making Anambra State a better place.

On his part, the Ekwusigo Local Government Area, Works Supervisor, Mr.
Okwunna Onukwulu, said that the intervention is timely and will be of
great relief to the people of that area, while Mr Ikechukwu Obidile
who has been assigned with monthly stipend to always ensure that the
drainage system of that environment is open for easy flow of flood,
promised to do the job with diligence. 

ABS also gathered that motorists no longer ply that road before the
intervention, as the road was almost divided into two, with a depth of 
over fifty feet.

At present, motorists now make use of the road as bigger portion of
the gully has been sand filled.
