THE Cultural Credibility Development Initiative, CCDI, has appealled to Babatunde Fashola, minister of works and housing, Federal Ministry of Works and Housing,
Abuja, to without delay repair the dilapidated Onitsha Owerri Road, particularly the Metallurgical junction.
The CCDI made the appeal in a letter entitled “save our souls” dated September 21, 2021, and signed by Goddy Uwazuruike, its president.
“Today, this road is a present and looming danger to anyone passing through that road. In a sentence, the Onitsha Owerri Rd has been divided into two. Need I remind the Hon Minister that this road is crucial to the network of roads leading to the Economic Golden Egg of Nigeria,” the letter said.
It informed the minister that “the roads in Igboland are so dilapidated that road transportation has crumbled beyond description . As the Governor of Lagos State, you performed very well in the provision and maintenance of good roads. We believe that you can repeat this feat on Onitsha Enugu road, Enugu Port Harcourt Rd, Ihiala Mbano Umuahia roads, the Umuahia Ikot Ekpene road, the Aboh Anioma roads, the Umuahia Arochukwu roads, Owerri Okigwe road, Owerri PH roads, the Uturu Afikpo roads the Owerri Mbaise Obowo roads , the Aba Ikot Ekpene road, the 9th mile Benue boarder roads.”
It added: “Your Excellency, your good name will go down the drain if you do not urgently rise to the occasion,” to repair the damaged road.
