Abia State residents have demonstrated their appreciation for the massive road projects undertaken by Governor Alex Otti. The residents trooped out to identify with the governor while he was inspecting the ongoing projects in the state.
Expressing his appreciation, Governor Otti stated, “I visited Aba, in the company of some members of my team, to inspect the ongoing road projects at Port Harcourt Road, Old Court Road, Ndoki Road and Omuma Road” Governor Otti shared on his X.
“We were impressed with the progress of work on Port Harcourt Road. The contractor, Julius Berger Plc, has assured us that the road will be ready for use by December 2024. We also have plans to dualise Omuma Road and link it with Old Express Road, Cemetery and Osusu Roads. This will be activated once the relocation of the electricity line is completed. Ndoki Road will also be completed in record time. We expect a marked improvement on the road before this year’s rainy season. The construction will extend to the Good Morning Market as well as Old Court Road and adjoining streets.
“We are grateful to the residents of Aba, who welcomed us warmly and expressed their appreciation for the work we are doing. We appreciate their cooperation and kindness to the contractors and workers. They have demonstrated that they are true partners in progress and development.
“We also seized the opportunity to appeal to them to maintain good sanitary habits and keep their environment clean and healthy. As we complete these roads, we will not tolerate littering and dumping of refuse on the roadsides or in drainages. We are providing waste bins for households and business owners, so they can dispose of their waste properly.”
