UMUAHIA—ABIA State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has called on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, to construct the Obuohia road whose contract has been awarded for some years now but the Commission has yet to mobilize the contractor to site.

He told NDDC to move in and do the road or pull out so that the state government can reconstruct the road which is a major link road in the commercial city.

Ikpeazu said that the road is very vital to the economic and social life of Aba residents and that it could not be left unattended to even as he lamented the hardship the bad condition of the road inflicted on the residents of the area.

According to Ikpeazu, his government is encumbered in working on the road because of the existing contract awarded to the NDDC for years without anything being done on the road.
