As part of socio economic advancement of the people through investment in their welfare, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has commissioned the Abiriba-Nkporo road.
The road, which was built by the government led by Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, was commissioned on Friday and a historical feat achieved as this is the first time the road will be built.
Read the full statement below;
Today, I commissioned the Abiriba – Nkporo Road constructed by my administration.
It is worth mentioning that this road is very important to the people of Nkporo as it links them with neighbouring communities for socioeconomic activities. I am particularly excited by the narrative by one of those present explaining how past leaders right from the time of the Old Eastern Region had tried to achieve this but could not. That confirmed that since the creation of the world, there had been no such road to Nkporo! But today, we have made history and have so become part of history. No matter what people may write on social media, the Nkporo man & woman will admit that Okezuo ‘efesala’ Nkporo.
Let me also emphasise that this is not just about road construction for publicity sake. If it was, we would not have engaged a Grade A contractor like Bulletine Construction Company to achieve this rare feat. It goes beyond that. We’re determined to keep breaking jinxes in the infrastructural development of Abia. We broke the jinx with Okon Bridge; we also broke the jinx with Ifeaobara pond & Ama Ikonne along Faulks Road. Beyond breaking jinxes, we’ll continue to provide dividends of democracy to our people.
And, hold your breath, Osisioma flyover, Ngwa Rd, Ohanku Rd, Obohia Rd etc, are all loading! It’s become our habit to break all the jinxes one can think of in Abia.
We will keep working for the socio-economic advancement of our people through massive investment in their welfare by providing the necessary Infrastructural facilities needed to achieve this!
