The Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging
Governor Willie Obiano to direct the Commissioner for Works to embark
on an immediate repair of Ojoto-Ede road in Okpoko to alleviate the
sufferings of the people.
The House passed the resolution following a motion sponsored to that
effect by the member representing Ogbaru Constituency One, Honourable
Noble Igwe during plenary in Awka.
House of Assembly Correspondent, Chukwuemeka Modilim reports that throwing more light on the motion, Honourable Igwe emphasized that
Ojoto-Ede road is a major link road that connects other roads within
the axis of Ogbaru Local Government Area.
The Lawmaker regretted that the road had become impassable as
motorists no longer ply the route.
On his part, the member representing Anambra West Constituency,
Honourable Patrick Udeoba who seconded the motion commended the
efforts of Governor Willie Obiano in fixing the State roads and
expressed confidence that he will come to the aid of the people.
Contributing, the Member representing Oyi constituency, Honourable
Charles Obimma who noted that Okpoko deserve a good road in view of
the fact that they contribute immensely to the internally generated
revenue of the state, urged the Ministry of Works to reconstruct the
road to give the people a sense of belonging.
The member representing Aguata Constituency One, Dr Carter Umeh and
his Njikoka Constituency One counterpart, Dr. Timothy Ifedioramma also
spoke in favour of the motion.
The Speaker of the House, Right Honourable Uche Okafor, assured that
the state government will reconstruct the road as Governor Willie
Obiano is working hard to fix all the dilapidated roads in the State.
