Madueke tasks FERMA on Afikpo-Abakaliki road E-mail

ABAKALIKI—Minister of Works and Transport, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, has directed the Managing Director of  the Federal  Roads Maintenance Agency; (FERMA) Olubunmi Peters to as a matter of urgency  provide details of the level of dilapidation of  the Abakaliki–Afikpo federal road that was being threatened by gully erosion.    Consequently, the FERMA MD has asked his field officers to ascertain the extent of damage on the road so as to carry out an immediate remedial action on the damaged portion of the road which links the South and Northern parts of Ebonyi State.

The Minister’s intervention followed representation made by the senate who visited the Akpoha section of the road where a deep gorge caused by a heavy down pour has worsened traffic to and from Abakaliki.

Chairman Senate committee on Aviation, who represents Ebonyi south senatorial district, Senator Anyim Ude had visited the damaged portion of the road and expressed dismay at the level of damage caused by floods on the road.

Senator Ude quickly took it up with the Minister of Transport and pleaded that something be done quickly since commuters now had to circumnavigate through Onitcha to get to Abakaliki and vice versa.

This is a step in the right direction and I am impressed with the quality of representation by some of our Federal lawmakers includng Senator Ude. Kudos to you all including our dear Minister for Transport for always lending her ears to such calls for urgent intervention

Dear Mrs Madueke, 
 
Thanks for your quick intervention to Eastern roads that were being cut off by natural disaster.  
We the people from Oji-River will like it if you also address the Oji-Achi-Inyi road. It has been in bad shape for so long. If nothing is done the people may be cut of from the rest of the state. Seeing those look good and plaible during your term of office will be a joy to the people and a legacy to you. Inyi I learnt is your husband's home place. May God bless you as you do this for us. Wish you a successful tenure in the office.
