CIVIL Liberties Organization has call on Gov. Chukwumah Soludo to take decisive, urgent and immediate actions toward rehabilitating decrepit and deplorable Federal Housing, 3-3, Nkwelle, Otuocha, Niger Street, Ziks Avenue , Nnobi_Awkaetiti_Igboukwu roads.
It is very painful and unbearable that your citizens spend more than three hours every day from Nkwelle, 3-3 to Eggerton Street Onitsha, this has led to monumental increase in the transport fare as well as wear and tear of vehicles due to bad roads, huge economic loses, increase in prizes of goods and services and loss of precious time. His excellency, it is on record your citizens trek to their homes due to unprecedented traffic, sometimes they sleeps in their friend houses.
Your Commissioner for Works and Environments should come out of their comfort zone and pay on the spot assessments visits to the roads to see and know the extent of dilapidated and inaccessible roads and prefer immediate palliatives measures toward rehabilitating the roads.
The press statement themed “let us bring hope to this hopeless situation ” endorsed by Comrades Vincent Ezekwueme , Chidi Mbah Chairman and Secretary respectively and Vincent Udeh. Governor Soludo should reconstitute Anambra Roads Maintenance Agency and take seriously constructive criticisms and discard with great disdains services of sycophants who tells him want he want to hear and not what he need to know and do for the betterment of the citizens.
We equally commends your excellency relentless efforts to tackle security challenges bedeviling the state, as well as numerous roads projects you recently awarded despite limited resources of the state.
It will be a step in the right direction and a welcome development to constitute Projects, Policies Evaluation and Monitoring Committee with the directive of reporting the extent of compliance with government policies and programmes and impacts to the citizens and visitors.
It is existential reality that the ban on collections of levies from hawkers, petty traders, wheel barrow, trucks and cats pushers are observed in breach. Unfortunately, collections of illegal and unaccounted levies in markets, roads has become order of the day. We have on daily basis receiving torrents of complaints from citizens and visitors over unbridled exploitations and extortions by touts and illegal revenue agents and their sponsors.
Concerted efforts should be made to rescue the situation and restore normalcy and averts state of lawlessness.
