The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has hailed the efforts of President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Works, David Umahi, for their pivotal task of revitalising the economy of the South-east zone.
Ohanaeze said the ongoing construction works, specifically the proposed expansion of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway and the impending completion of the Aba-Ikot Ekpene, represent a beacon of hope for the reconnection of Aba to its neighbouring territories. A statement issued on Tuesday by the factional secretary-general of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the initiatives have undoubtedly paved the way for the socio-economic renaissance of the ancient commercial city.
'The swift and sustainable realization of improved federal highways within Aba has lifted the shadows of economic despair that loomed over the city, paving the way for lasting prosperity and growth. Aba's historical stature as a regional trading haven for West African nations has been stifled by the lack of basic infrastructure, thereby impeding economic fortunes and deterring potential customers from harnessing the vast opportunities within the vibrant city of Enyimba.
