 GOV. OTTI TO COMMENCE RECONSTRUCTION OF OHANKU, OBUOHIA ROADS IN ABA

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR says reconstruction of Ohanku and Obuohia Roads in Aba will commence soon to ease movement of the people and boost economic activities in the areas.

The Governor was speaking at the Blessed Michael Iwene Tansi Catholic Church, MCC Road, Aba, where he and his wife joined in the celebration of Epiphany; a special programme of the Catholic Church celebrated every first Sunday of the year.

“In few days, work will start on Ohanko.And as work is starting on Ohanku road,work will start in earnest in Obuohia road .So all those places that are impassable, we will change their story “,the Governor pointed out.

He said the essence of fixing the roads is to change the bad narratives of the roads in the commercial nerve centre of the State.

“Some of the modest things we are doing in Aba and elsewhere is in keeping with our promise and also fulfilling the requirements of government.Governance is about the welfare and security of the people.”

Governor Otti also stated that the Omuma road which has remained deteriorated and impassable for over 20 years is receiving serious attention as a dual carriage way with cement pavement technology is currently being built there.

“Shotly after we commissioned this road (MCC) we have started on several other roads.Those of you who come from around Omuma road will know that Omuma road has not been used for about 20 years.I want to invite you to go to Omuma road and see what is happening there.And we are doing a dual carriage way with rigid pavement technology because that place is mashy and is a very long road.”
