The governor of Ebonyi State, Chief Francis Nwifuru has flaged off the construction of 2,085.00 meter Okwase-Nkaleke Internal Roads in Abakaliki local government area of the state.
Governor Nwifuru speaking while flagging off the road said the road will be extended to Hausa Quarters and Nkaliki Road, pointing out that his administration is working hard to expand the capital city from the way he meets it by creating more internal roads in the city.
The governor who was represented by the State Commissioner for Works, Engnr Stanley Lebechi Mbam said
considering the economic importance of the internal roads in Nkaliki, the Okwase- Nkaleke and other ongoing road projects in the area will be completed in the next 3 months and urged stakeholders and the community members to lend their support to the project by protecting the concrete work.
“We have done a lot trying to expand the capital city from the way we meet it. We started with the new mile 50 layout which is about 4.5k completed and commissioned”.
"It will interest you to know that these roads had never got any touch of construction since the creation of Ebonyi State but our dear Governor, with his eagle eye, captured the roads into his People's Charter of Needs Mantra hence, the flag-off".
“I Want to let you know that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Ogbonna Nwifuru, is beckoned on people’s charter of needs, and he is out expanding the capital city. We have just been as if we are in a cage whereby it is only the old capital city that has access road, but I want to let you know that since he came on board, we have been able to expand the capital city.
“We have the new mile 50 road, which is about 4.5 km, and other places that have never experienced road construction before.
“This place is in the capital city. It is not only that this road is connected to this community, but it is also connected to other major roads linking Hausa quarters and the Ebyia community, so be grateful to God he is the dividend of democracy and the dividends of the people’s charter of needs.
“This road is impassable. I pity people who use this road daily, but when Governor Nwifuru came on board, he said we should look into this. I was happy because the road was connected to my community.
“join this road with other road projects in and around Nkaliki when you sum them up, it is about 4.2km but distributed around. I think 2km is coming here for the first phase, and I believe as we progress, additions will be made to it.
“We are expanding the city, and I believe as we are starting this job today, within 2 to 3 months, we should be able to complete it and move to the next phase." He stated.
