The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has taken action to address the gully erosion on Nnobi axis of the Nnobi-Nkpor Federal Highway in the state.
The severed road is a major road that connects the entire Onitsha and Idemili to Nnobi, Nnokwa, Nnewi, Aguata and most of Anambra south and the country at large.
A team of experts from the State’s Ministry of Works, led by the Commissioner, Engr Ifeanyi Okoma mobilised to assess the road’s deplorable condition and came up with a comprehensive remedial plan to address it.
The remedial measures taken by Governor Soludo’s administration in response to the failed road will significantly improve accessibility, safety, and the overall driving experience for the people. Without the Governor’s timely intervention, the road that had been cut off will have continued to be a source of frustration and safety concerns.
As a result of his leadership, commuters, and road users will breathe a sigh of relief as they will begin to travel with ease and confidence on the reconstructed road.
Recall that on September 5, 2023, Governor Soludo paid an on-the-spot assessment visit to the portion where he immediately promised to mobilise and commence intervention on the federal road.
