“We will not fail to mention here the introduction of massive drainages and the deployment of the rigid cement technology on most of our roads across the state which are today testimonies of your determination to bequeath on Abia infrastructure that will long outlive your regime,” the statement said.
It observed that Umuahia and especially Aba are currently receiving huge attention through the reconstruction of major roads that will return the glory of both cities.
According to them, “With the soon to be commenced 27.4 Billion project for the reconstruction of Ngwa Road, Uratta Road, Port Harcourt Road, Obohia and Ohanku Roads, Aba will come full circle and maximally return to its position as a major business hub of the East and Aba business which you became from the inception of this government the biggest advocate and ambassador will further find increased traction to reach its major goal of becoming the China of Africa in sundry manufacturing and modern technology.”
While thanking the Governor “for all these and so many other developmental efforts of your adminstration,” the Forum urged him not to relent in doing more for Abia.
