Enugu State Government says it will begin remedial work on the 9th mile-Opi junction, along the Enugu-Makurdi expressway, and the 9th Mile-Opi old road to ease the pains of people in the area.
This is contained in a press statement issued by the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Greg Nnaji, in Enugu on Friday.
He disclosed that the Enugu State Executive Council, conscious of the difficulties arising from the situation of the roads, set up a Technical Team to visit the axis with a view to identifying the critical failed sections. “If no intervention is given, it may negatively impact the availability of these essential products in the state and its environs,” Nnaji said.
He said the government would remove all trucks and other vehicles stuck on the road, and carry out remedial works where possible to give room for immediate passage of commuters and goods while awaiting the intervention of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
