www.odogwublog.com reports that after four years of abandon and suffering by some communities in Orumba North, the State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Willie Obiano to direct the contracting firm handling the construction of Awgbu, Amaetiti-Okpeze, Ndiukwuenu road to go back to site.
The resolution was sequel to a motion sponsored to
that effect by the member representing Orumba North Constituency Chief Romanus
Obi during yesterday’s plenary in Awka.
The House also urged the Commissioner for Road
Construction, Maintenance and Furniture to direct the Chairman Anambra State Tenders
Board to send the Approved Revised Estimated Total Cost of the project to the
state Executive Council Meeting for approval.
The road was awarded by former Governor Peter Obi and work
has reached advanced stage when Obiano took over and for 4 years nothing was
done on the site.
Moving the motion, Chief Obi emphasized that early
completion of the project would save the state government from spending more
funds on the project, if it was not completed before the rains set in.
On his part, the Deputy Speaker, Sir Hafford Oseke,
noted that completion of the project would alleviate the suffering of the road
users and facilitate movement of goods and services.
In their separate contributions, the Majority Leader,
Chief Victor Okoye, the Chairman House Committee on Information, Culture and
Tourism, Mr. Kingsley Iruba, the Chief Whip, Mr. Lawrence Ezeudu, and the
member representing Ayamelum constituency, Mr. Uchenna Okafor spoke in favour
of the motion.
The Speaker, Barrister Rita Maduagwu expressed
confidence that Governor Willie Obiano would direct the contracting firm back
to site as he places high premium on good road network.
