THE Managing Director, Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, ACTDA, Amaechi Okwuosa, has urged the people to make use of pedestrian bridges, were necessary to cross the roads so as to avoid road mishaps.
Okwuosa said this while exchanging views with newsmen in his office at Awka.
“The authority installed wire mesh on the Aroma — Kwata axis and will soon extend it to Government House on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, the Esther Obiakor and Amawbia Round About axis too.’’
The ACTDA MD notes that the wire mesh installation was aimed at preventing people from crossing the expressways as well as add aesthetics to the city.
Okwuosa cautioned people to desist from turning the bridges into markets of sorts and the defaulters would be prosecuted when apprehended.
“Desist from trading on pedestrian bridges; stop urinating and defecating at the base of such bridges in order to avoid police arrest,’’ he said.
On the state of the Nation, the ACTDA boss said that Nigeria still had a long way to go, when compared to other developed countries particularly in the area of self-governance.
He called on the entire ethnic groups across the country to have a common sense of purpose in order to achieve a lot.
Okwuosa urged families to establish sophisticated and stable backgrounds so as to reduce the rate of delinquency, particularly among the youths of the country.
