Anambra State House of Assembly has commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for awarding and re-constructing Nkwo to Nkwo road, Igwe Orizu road and ensuring the completion of Edo Ezemewi road in Nnewi.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that
the member representing Nnewi North Constituency Hon. Augustine Ike while moving the motion at plenary on Tuesday,
stated that in line with Governor Soludo’s vision of building a smart, prosperous and liveable homeland, he has awarded a total of 621.649km of roads out of which 316km have been asphalted as at November 2024.
According to Hon. Ike, Soludo at the 37th meeting of the Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) awarded among other roads the Nkwo – Nkwo and Igwe Orizu roads Nnewi, outside the ongoing dualization of roads from Agulu to Nnewi and Nnewi to Okija, including the near completion of Edo Ezemewi road (Bank road).
” Governor Soludo has kept his promise of further awarding the reconstruction of Nkwo to Nkwo road and Igwe Orizu roads whose current conditions have been a major drawback on commercial and business activities in the area, as commuters hardly navigate successfully through these roads to their various destinations.
