The Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE), Calabar Branch has lamented the dilapidated state of Calabar-Itu road.
The chairman of the branch, Mr. Ndifon Agbiji, who spoke when executive members visited Cross River State Controller of Works, Mr. Bassey Nsentip, to seek support for the completion of its secretariat building in Calabar, described the state of the road as mind breaking.
He suggested palliative measures to make the road motorable.”Our greatest concern is the state of Calabar/Itu road. The last time, we had engagement in Port Harcourt, we had to come back through the Oron waterways because the road was blocked for several days.“We appreciate the fact that Julius Berger has mobilised to site but we went there, the defect of mobilisation is our worries.
The NSE Chairman, however commended the controller for dogged determination to ensure that the Federal Government through the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babajide Fashola, complete the new Ikom Bridge, which is 80per cent completed. The chairman appealed for support from the office of the Controller to complete its secretariat-building project, which is slated for commissioning in December.
