Obiano Set To complete Ogbunike Cave Tourist center before December 25th This Year

To ensure speedy completion of the road leading to the Ogbunike Cave, in Ogbunike community, Oyi LGA, one of the major tourist centres in Anambra State as well as boost tourism during the yuletide season, attract investors, create jobs and alleviate poverty, Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano has charged the contractor handling the access road project to complete the work on schedule or risk immediate enforcement of the contract terms.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with the level of work done so far and ordered the firm to accelerate the  pace of work to complete it on schedule. He said, “I expect you to expedite action on every aspect of this construction and we will not condone further excuses because we have given you all the necessary support to ensure you deliver the road on schedule.”

The governor charged the contractor to use the onset of dry season to increase pace of work to meet the schedule. He noted that, when completed, the road would give people easy access to the cave as one of the important tourist attractions in the State and open the entire area as well as boost socio-economic activities of the people and area.

 At the Nkissi Bridge, along Umudioka - Umunya road, the governor said the Bridge would be delivered before the end of the year and the road would be motorable while the asphalting would commence by January 2015, and that the bridge/road would be another access to the cave in the community.

 While inspecting the Umunya end of the road, the governor assured it would be completed within one month with markings and other road infrastructures that would enhance free flow of traffic and safety on the road.

He said the road has strategic importance as it links the Anambra North and Central Senatorial districts. Ogbunike is the home town of the late former Senate President, Dr Chuba Okadigbo. Also Her Excellency Mrs Ebele Obiano is from Ogbunike.
