An ongoing drainage channel being constructed by the Anambra State Government located on Niger Street in Fegge, Onitsha, collapsed as a result of heavy rainfall on Thursday night.
“Dubai, as it is today, as it is today did not happen in 13 months and certainly not with the kind of bitter soul that made that video. Soludo is very much on course and will never be distracted by the tantrums of politically bitter people.”
Another resident, Mr. Godwin Okeke, insisted the project had been shoddily handled while blaming the development on “poor supervision” on the part of government officials, a team of engineers, and contractors handling the project. “What happened showed that the materials used are substandard. If they have applied enough cement during the casting of the drainage, it would not have washed off,” Okeke added.
It was gathered that the state Commissioner for Works, Mr. Ifeanyi Okeoma, has visited the area and inspected the level of damage done.He said, “Anambra State Commissioner for Works, Mr. Ifeanyi Okeoma, a team of engineers from the ministry were here at Niger Street, Fegge Onitsha, to inspect the level of work on the stretch and witness the effects of Thursday’s downpour on the road.
“Contrary to the amateur clip that went viral earlier today, nothing much happened I can confirm that the construction company handling the project is on-site working on the stretch.”All rights reserved.
