‘Our Target is to End Perennial Flooding’ – Ikpeazu Says as He Inspects Ndiegoro Area

On an inspection of the ongoing projects in Aba, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has reiterated his resolve to fight the flooding at the Ndiegoro axis in Aba, Abia State.

Governor Ikpeazu expressed his satisfaction with the project which was commissioned in November 2020 and expected to be rounded off in two and a half years.

The Governor stated that the target was to have a flood-free Aba and urged residents to stop dumping wastes into the drainage system and also stop burning tyres on the road.

“Our objective is to deliver a better life for our people as I promised them when they graciously elected me their Governor.”

“Despite the initial teething challenges, our watershed management & road construction projects are finally underway and gaining momentum. In some areas especially the near Asa triangle, we had to excavate up to one and a half meters to remove unsuitable materials which were ignored in the past leading to perennial road failures.

My visit to the ongoing project at the Ndiegoro Area yesterday left me highly impressed at the rate the work is progressing. I am confident the contractors will deliver according to schedule and specification.

Not only will Ngwa, Ohanku, Obohia and Port Harcourt Roads be reconstructed but we also, intend to finally end the issue of perennial flooding at Ndiegoro that has defied previous administrations in the state. As always, our objective is to deliver a better life for our people as I promised them when they graciously elected me their Governor.

Because of the humongous nature of the project must urge our people in advance not to panic when they see the “monster” equipment being deployed for the underground drainage we are set to establish. I understand the equipment has never been used anywhere else in Nigeria except our locality. Whatever will help accelerate the work we are doing is welcome.

On that note, we appeal to our people to support our vision of a cleaner and flood-free Aba by ending the era of indiscriminately disposing of wastes into drains and burning tyres on our roads.

Our kinetic agenda is on course.”
