The Abia State Commissioner for Works, Barrister Bob Chiedozie Ogu has inspected some road projects in Aba to ascertain the level of work done by the contractors.

Speaking to newsmen on Monday, Ogu expressed satisfaction on the progress of work done at Omuma road which is among the roads the state government is constructing with rigid pavement technology, adding that the contractor handling Faulks road has commenced desilting of drains and reconstruction of the failed portions with rigid pavement, stressing that the thickness of the rigid pavements on Omuma and Faulks, will permanently solve the issue of road failure at Faulks Road and Omuma Road.
