There have been several calls by many Abians on the dilapidated condition of the road especially as it leads to the popular Ariaria International Market. The Governor, through the Commissioner for Information, Dr Eze Chikamnayo directed the contractor to return to the site but so far, no contractor has been seen on the road.
