Flag-Off Construction of Arochukwu-Ohafia Federal Road by the Governor of Abia State, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, takes place as follows:
Date: Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
Venue: Old Soldier Junction Ohafia
Time: Noon Prompt.
It would be recalled that Governor Otti had earlier in the year flagged off the construction of the 67-kilometer Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia road awarded to three different construction companies with a mandate to do quality jobs in line with the set standard of the Alex Otti led-government.
Governor Otti explained that the strategic road project was awarded to three companies to enable them to work simultaneously and deliver the project in record time, without unnecessary delays and hitches that could cause suffering to motorists and other road users.
With the award of the Ohafia-Arochukwu section, it is expected that when the entire stretch of the Umuahia-Ohafia-Arochukwu road is delivered, it will ignite serious economic activities as businessmen and women operating within and around that part of Abia North will find it easier and more convenient to carry out their business activities, including evacuation of their farm produce to the available markets.
Governor Otti believes that it wouldn’t be in the interest of the state and the people to abandon strategic roads that could open up the state for investment and other economic activities simply because they are Federal roads, explaining that it’s still Abians that use such roads.
