The Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Willie Obiano to direct the Commissioner for Works to embark on an immediate repair of Ojoto-Ede road in Okpoko to alleviate the sufferings of the people.
The House passed the resolution following a motion sponsored to that effect by the member representing Ogbaru Constituency 1, Honourable Noble Igwe during plenary in Awka.
Our correspondent reports that throwing more light on the motion, Honourable Igwe emphasized that Ojoto-Ede road is a major link road that connects other roads within the axis of Ogbaru Local Government Area.
The lawmaker regretted that the road had become impassable as motorists no longer ply the route.
On his part, the member representing Anambra West Constituency, Honourable Patrick Udeoba who seconded the motion commended the efforts of Governor Willie Obiano in fixing the state roads and expressed confidence that he will come to the aid of the people.
Contributing, the Member representing Oyi constituency, Honourable Charles Obimma who noted that Okpoko deserve a good road in view of the fact that they contribute immensely to the internally generated revenue of the State, urged the Ministry of Works to reconstruct the road to give the people a sense of belonging.
The member representing Aguata Constituency 1, Dr. Carter Umeh and
his Njikoka Constituency 1 counterpart, Dr. Timothy Ifedioramma also spoke in favour of the motion.
The Speaker of the House, Right Honourable Uche Okafor, assured that
the State government will reconstruct the road as Governor Willie Obiano is working hard to fix all the dilapidated roads in the state.
