Anambra Assembly Committee Condemns Damage to Ongoing Road Project
The Anambra State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Infrastructure has condemned the alleged destruction of sections of the ongoing Ndiukwuenu-Awgbu Road by land developers, describing the development as a threat to government infrastructure projects.
The committee made the observation during an inspection of ongoing road projects across the state. Chairman of the committee, Engr. Emma Nwafor, said the alleged activities of the developers would be reported to the state government for prompt intervention to prevent further damage.
According to Nwafor, "The activities of some land developers are undermining government investment in infrastructure. We will report the matter to the appropriate authorities for necessary action."
The committee, however, commended the contractor handling the Ndiukwuenu-Awgbu Road project for the quality of work executed so far.
The lawmakers also inspected the 3.5-kilometre Igboukwu-Amichi Link Road, describing the project as nearing completion and meeting the required construction standards. Nwafor said the road features a satisfactory carriageway, properly constructed drainage channels, culverts and other drainage structures, although he noted that a catchment area still requires attention.
The committee further confirmed that construction work on the Akpo-Ogboji Road has been completed.
Speaking during the inspection, the member representing Aguata I State Constituency, Hon. Anayo Okpalaeke, commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for responding to the infrastructure needs of the area.
Okpalaeke said, "The governor responded positively to our appeal for these roads, and the people of Aguata, particularly the people of Akpo, are grateful for the intervention." He added that the projects would improve connectivity and support socio-economic activities in the affected communities.
