Governor Alex Otti of Abia State: “We flagged off the rehabilitation of the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road, a 67.64km road that will be upgraded to a 2-lane asphaltic concrete carriageway with streetlights in the built-up areas and drainages on both sides.
The contract will last for twelve (12) months. The project is divided into three sections and will be handled by reputable construction companies. This effort is part of the fulfilment of our social contract with Ndị Abia.
By improving these vital roads, we are opening up new vistas of economic opportunities and markets for our farmers and traders. We are also reducing the travel time and cost for our commuters and travellers.
It will also bring urban and rural communities closer and our local economy will thrive with increased connectivity. This is more than a government project; it is a community journey.
We urge everyone to embrace this development, support the contractors, and continue to fulfil civic duties like tax payments. Your contribution is crucial for the ongoing progress of Abia State.”
