Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, inspected the Gully Erosion Control Works in Amannalu junction erosion site, Ebenator, Nnewi South Local Council.
Benejaf International Limited is the project’s contractor, and Maintech Engineering Consult is the consultant.
Governor Soludo stated in his remarks that APGA is in charge of the project.
Saluting the people of Ebenator, Osumenyi, and Ezinifite, Soludo said that he has come to inspect the progress of the project.
“I’ve seen the level of work done and what’s been installed underground. I’m impressed by what I’ve seen. “Because the drainage will be channeled to a river, the erosion will be a thing of the past,” Soludo said.
He added that it is a local council with 20 wards and two House of Assembly members representing Nnewi constituencies one and two.
The Governor told them that APGA’s slogan is “onye aghana nwanne ya,” and that he will wipe away the people’s tears in that spirit because he understands how it has been a thorn in their flesh for several years. He informed them that the Solution is here.
“The contractor estimates that the road will be passable in two weeks. The Contractor also stated that the project would be finished in August.
“The APGA Candidate for Nnewi Constituency 2 was a Former TC Chairman of Nnewi South and I can recall during my Governorship campaign, he told me about how this road was cut off by erosion,” Soludo explained.
The Governor pleaded with the people to vote for both APGA candidates in Nnewi Constituency 1 and 2 so that he could have people with whom he could easily work with for the best interests of the people.
Finally, the Governor urged Traditional Rulers to call for a mass return so that people from other states and diaspora could be counted in the upcoming National Census.
