Former Minister of Mines and Steel Development,Dr.Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, has in a message brimming with gratitude and renewed optimism for the people of Isuikwuato and the entire Abia North region, praised the Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi for approving and commencing the long-awaited reconstruction of the Uturu\u2013Afikpo Federal Road, a deplorable highway that has for years strained Economic and social life across communities in Abia and Ebonyi States.<\/p>\n
Uturu\u2013Afikpo corridor, widely regarded as one of the most strategic routes in the Southeast, serves as a major artery for commerce, agricultural exchange, inter-state trade and student movement between the two states. Years of neglect had turned the road into a nightmare for motorists, traders and residents.
\nToday\u2019s intervention, Dr Ogah noted, “marks not just a project launch but a restoration of dignity, safety and Economic vitality for thousands who depend on the route daily.”<\/p>\n
Reacting to the development, Dr Ogah described Minister of Works action as \u201ca turning point for the hopes of our people,\u201d applauding the Minister for his trademark blend of engineering excellence, responsive Leadership and compassionate Governance. He noted that the swift approval reflects Umahi’s National commitment to infrastructure renewal and his determination to ensure that no region is sidelined in the Federal works agenda.<\/p>\n
According to Ogah,\u201cThis is a masterstroke of statesmanship. Sen.Umahi has once again proven that he is a builder of both roads and trust. He has given our people a reason to believe again.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further appealed to residents and host communities to cooperate with contractors and safeguard ongoing work to ensure timely and quality delivery.
\nOgah reaffirmed his personal dedication to championing more infrastructural improvements across Abia, stressing that development thrives when leaders and citizens work in synergy.<\/p>\n
He concluded that the reconstruction of the Uturu\u2013Afikpo Road will unlock Economic opportunities, enhance security, ease movement, and restore regional pride. <\/p>\n
Ogah emphasized that Sen.Umahi deserves the heartfelt appreciation of Ndi Abia for this transformative and long-overdue intervention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
