Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has creditably demonstrated responsiveness to the people’s yearnings for good roads. In his determination to expand the frontiers of good governance..
This is more so in our politico-economic clime where the heavy the clamour for roads as civilising agents makes a huge demand on the government.
While the Anambra Road Maintenance Agency busies itself with the huge demands of road maintenance, filling potholes and effecting patches across the state, the Ministry of Works under the watch of Marcel Ifejiofor as commissioner remains the fulcrum of Obiano’s plausible attainments in increasingly stretching road reach to the greatest number of communities across Anambra State.
Added to this critical intervention on road is the 11.2-kilometre road, with a completed bridge, from Umueje in Ayamelum to the oil fields in Aguleri-Otu. The Umueje and the Aguleri-Uno /Aguleri-Otu bridges are most significant as they provide easy access through Anambra State to the oil fields in the state which hitherto could only be accessed through Enugu and Kogi States.
It is commonly held that Anambra posts the best spread of paved road network in the country. This position is increasingly getting more credible with the Obiano administration’s insistence on journeying by road to meet Ndi-Anambra wherever they are found in his domain. This is exemplified in the Okija section of the Onitsha-Owerri Road that was almost cut off by very deep gully erosion, and the timely intervention that saved the flyover at New Tarzan, Nkpor with the neighbourhood from caving into the ravages of gully erosion.
