FG Commended For Starting Job On Nkporo-Abiriba-Ohafia Road Project.I did Ohafia people Need Road?
The rulers made the commendation in interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, when the Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, launched the commencement of the job at the Abia end of the road.
They expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for awarding the contract for the project and said its completion would alleviate the suffering of the people.
Eze Patrick Ogbuagu, the traditional ruler of Nkporo Autonomous Community, described the commencement of the work as ‘’an answer to many years of crying for the government to come to our aid’’.
Ogbuagu, who described his community as predominantly agrarian, said that the road would help farmers to transport their farm produce to other parts of the state.
He said it was regrettable that a lot of farm produce rotted away after every harvest because of the difficulties faced by farmers in transporting their produce.
