Rehabilitate deplorable federal roads in Anambra, group urges FG
“Recall many citizens of the state have died and still dying because of the pathetic condition of the roads. The Onitsha-Owerri roads have cost many lives of innocent citizens as lorries carrying containers fall on vehicles plying the bad road on a daily basis.
“It is very painful and sorrowful that an average of one person dies daily on the road, but if it is rehabilitated, the lives of innocent citizens will be saved and secured. The pitiable condition of Federal roads in the state has made life miserable and nightmarish. “The journey that can cost one hour now costs four to five hours. Transport fare has skyrocketed to more than two hundred per cent, it has led to wear and tear of vehicles. Worst still, it posed a security challenge to the people as hoodlums utilizes traffic jams to rob innocent citizens.
“The essence of government is for the greater happiness of the greater number of the people hence the inevitable need for Federal Government to put smiles and happiness on the faces of Anambrarians and Nigerians through urgent and immediate rehabilitation of the roads. “President Tinubu should direct FERMA to commence prompt palliative rehabilitation works on the roads pending when a permanent contract will be awarded for the rehabilitation of the roads.”All rights reserved.
