The Chairman, Idemili North Local Government Area (LGA), Hon. Stanley Nkwoka, Thursday, flagged off 0.563 kilometres stone-based interlock road connecting Obosi to several communities.
The road with expected 50 years life span, named John Nwadiobi, Enekwasumpu, Obosi in Idemili North LGA is expected to be completed in 10 weeks together with solar powered street lights.
According to the council boss, the road modelled after interlock roads at Benin Republic and Lagos state respectively, would provide succour to the residents and natives of the community currently navigating deplorable trunk C road for long.
He reassured other parts of the council area that such kind gesture would be replicated at their respective communities inline with his campaign promise of providing dividends of democracy to the hinterland to compliment governor Chukwuma Soludo’s efforts to improve people’s lives.
“Like I told you earlier, this is just one of the four roads we plan to build in Obosi. Next week, we will begin another road at Abatete, then proceed to Ideani, followed by Attah Road Nkpor, and we will return for another road in Obosi. Our governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo is doing well. We cannot stop emulating his food effort,” he stated.
Earlier, the project contractor, Mr Odira Eze, of A & Z Global Elegance Company and the builder, Chibuike Okeke, while noting that the stone-based interlock road would be first of its kind in southeast region, assured that quality work would be executed within a record time.
