Imo community raises alarm over failed roads

The people of Umukabia, Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, have raised alarm over what they termed “the hopeless road network in our community.”

A spokesman of the community, Mr. Celestine Ike, lamented that the communities major link roads, Umuelemai-Agbaje-Eke Umuodu-Orji road and adjoining loop from Mgbroko to Umuezeala remained a death trap.

“People access these roads with extreme caution and difficulty, especially during the rainy season, due to flooding. Deep craters and deep ponds, which dot several portions of these roads, have made transportation extremely difficult in Umukabia”, Ike said.

He recalled that although the immediate past administration of Chief Ikedi Ohakim, awarded the road contract to a Port Harcourt based road construction firm (names withheld), “the project was abandoned midway and the situation has worsened this year.”

Ike described as disheartening that the area had remained underdeveloped despite the calibre of prominent personalities from the community, including the former chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Maurice Iwu, his younger brother, Chief Cosmas Iwu, Chief Johnson Ekpunobi, among others.
