Governor Fubara, in response to grievances voiced by residents in Umuohie-Igbodo communities, visited the area on Tuesday. This region marked the point where the prior administration’s construction efforts concluded.
During his visit, Governor Fubara personally traversed the entire stretch of the deteriorated section, extending from Umuohie-Igbodo communities to the Okpala community in Imo State. The objective was to evaluate the current condition of the problematic segment and gauge the extent of necessary repairs.
Acknowledging the commendable work done by the previous administration in reconstructing the Etche-Igbodo road, Governor Fubara highlighted that a crucial section remained incomplete, causing inconvenience for both residents and commuters.
Expressing concern over the severe condition of the road, especially during the dry season, Governor Fubara remarked, “It’s really bad, and you can see that.
