Tempo of socioeconomic activities between Umuoji and Oba both in Idemili North and South council areas respectively will soon increase as the major track road that links the two communities is being reconstructed into truck B, motorable road.
The road known as Mmili Okafia Umuoji Oba road is presently undergoing various stages of construction process.
The construction company handling the project had sand filled some portion of the river in readiness for the construction of a bridge.
It was also observed that greater portion of the road had been sand filled and graded with drainages on both sides.
As at the time of this report a worker was seen perfecting the drainages , while some construction materials were also assembled at the site.
ABS news crew also spotted some workers with heavy duty equipment at the Oba end of the road.
Reacting to the development, an indigene of Umuoji, Mrs. Justina Osuno while commending the state government for its efforts in extending democracy dividends across the state, said the road will open up Umuoji community for business as it links Oba and other communities.
On his part, Mr. Simon Anyansi expressed joy on the development but called on the construction company to always douse the road with water to avoid much dust.
The road when completed will decongest the ever busy Umuoji – Nnobi road as it serves as a short cut to Nnewi through Oba.
