Anambra: Massive Roads Construction Kicks Off Soon

The Anambra State Government would commence aggressive construction of roads in parts of the State in the coming weeks.

Gov Willie Obiano disclosed this during an Eucharistic Thanksgiving Service held at St John’s Church, Oko, Orumba North council of the state to mark the 60th Birthday of Chief Mrs Ifeoma Ekwueme, wife of the former Vice-president, Dr Alex Ekwueme.

The Governor disclosed that contractors handling road projects across the state were recently mobilized, and since the rains have subsided, work would commence immediately on the roads.

He said 8 out of the 27 investments his administration had attracted in the state totalling about $4.7billion were fully on ground, creating activities that have generated wealth and job opportunities for people, adding that the impact in the present recession cannot be overemphasized.

He expressed felicitations to the celebrant Mrs Ekwueme, describing her as a great woman who at 60 has left no one in doubt as to her integrity and humaneness.

Gov Obiano thanked Dr Ekwueme through whose intervention he noted, the Federal Government has agreed to intervene in the Oko erosion site, and said his fatherly role has been valuable to the State.

The event was well attended by dignitaries from within and outside the state including Deputy Senate President, Dr Ike Ekweremadu, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Pius Anyim, Senator Joy Emodi, and renowned industrialists, Chief Patrick Chidolue and Godwin Ezemo among others.
