President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been commended for continuing the reconstruction of the road that linked Abia State with Imo State, including the component bridge that was destroyed during the civil war.

Hon, Sam Onuigbo made the commendation on Sunday in a press conference in Umuahia following “positive reports” he received on the state of works on the federal road linking Abia to Imo and the one linking it to Akwa Ibom State.

The Ubakala-Umunwanwa-Udo Adobi-Achingalli Road has been in a state of disrepair since the civil war ended in 1970.

With the destroyed bridge left unattended to, it has been a herculean task to access Imo State from the south-eastern end of Umuahia South Local Government.

But Onuigbo said that he was happy that things were changing for better as the progress of work on the road was satisfactory while a section of the bridge has been completed.

He said: “Electioneering has come and gone and this (Tinubu) istration should be commended for maintaining irable momentum to complete the road projects awarded by the last istration.

Onuigbo stated that the interstate road was very strategic it would reduce the journey from Umuahia to Imo Airport to less than an hour.

The former federal lawmaker, who represented Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, noted that the road project was inherited by the Tinubu’s istration from former President Muhammadu Buhari’s istration.

According to him, it was heartwarming that the link road with Imo was not abandoned by the new istration, just as it has also sustained work on Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Road linking Abia State and Akwa Ibom State.

On the skill acquisition centre at Ubakala and the federal secretariat projects that he championed as a federal lawmaker, Onuigbo noted that the skill centre has reached 85 percent completion.

He stated that work on the federal secretariat project, which had been eluding Abia for over three decades, would soon start as land has been secured within the state’s capital territory.

The two-term federal lawmaker hinged his optimism on the fact that the present Abia State Governor, Mr.Alex Otti, unlike his predecessor, has “shown willingness” to cooperate with the federal government to realise the project.

Onuigbo, who represented the South-east on the board of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), said that the agency is working hard to achieve its mandate.

He said that the North-east, which constituted one-third of Nigeria’s land mass, was devastated by insurgency, adding that a master plan has been adopted to rebuild the zone, comprising Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe States.

The NEDC’s board member explained that the benefits of the interventionist activities of NEDC would not be enjoyed by only the indigenes of the six states that make up the North-east zone but all Nigerians resident in the area.

He said: “Devastation of North-east was not selective. Other Nigerians living in the area were also affected,” adding that whatever the NEDC was doing to rebuild the zone is for the benefit of all Nigerians.

Even if Tinubu gives your entire family juicy employment and contracts from now till 2031, you'll still have cause to hate him. Road that your governors could not repair for over 50yrs, he has helped you to do so under 1 year of office and yet you're still not satisfied.

Tinubu has done well with the continuation of the road project.

Buhari and Tinubu are really good men. Obi or OBJ would not have done anything in the SE if they were president and there were constantly bombarded the way you guys have been bombarding Buhari and Tinubu. Buhari delivered the Second Niger Bridge regardless and now Tinubu is giving you guys SEDC among other things but guess what. He's still the favorite thing for a SE'sterner to hate.

Well done Daddy Bulaba

did you ask Onuigbo before you claimed that "Tinubu has done well with the continuation of the road project"?

IBB started and completed the 3rd mainland bridge ( the longest bridge in africa) with no noise,
And buhari in his 8 years could only complete the 2nd Niger bridge (that he stopped the project as soon as he came to power) connecting the south east and south south geopolitical zone, with Federal government money wey no be him father own, and you expect igbos to worship him,

What happens to rail and other infrastructure, abi those region no deserve am, but instead he chose Niger republic, shouting 5 percent and dot in the circle like it will break the spirit, but how far?

As for your tinubu let's not even go there,
Currently SW has 10 ministers, while SE and SS combined has 11 minus beta edu is 10 ministers for the two geopolitical zone.

Thunder go fire this man commending the president. Abia is now in the limelight the president is trying to align and one idiot is busy sending commendation letters. Thunder fire you there!!!
