The Commissioner revealed that the state will soon commence the 2nd phase of rehabilitation of internal roads in the state capital.

On the ongoing construction of overhead bridges at the popular vanco junction at the heart Abakaliki which has affected human and vehicular movements there, Mbam urged motorists and other road users to be patient and assured that the construction would be completed within 18 months in line with the project specification.

"Works are going on at vanco junction. The potholes that are there is as a result of the works there.

"You don't expect a road that is under construction to be made comfortable before it's completion.

"Let me use this opportunity to inform the general public that by Wednesday this week, we are going to divert vanco.

 "The road users will not be making use of that road anymore because we are introducing next stage of work there and that is the tunnel and we are going to start excavation from the design on the already existing road.

"So, we are going to let the public know about it and the announcement will soon start so that road users will begin to use other roads that are not close to that vanco place to get to their destinations", he said.
