SEVEN new road projects executed by Governor Achike Udenwa’s administration in Imo State were last Thursday commissioned by Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The roads bring to 35 the number of roads completed by the administration since its inception three years ago.

The commissioning ceremony was part of activities marking the governor’s third year in office.

Among the roads commissioned were the 1.4 kilometer Relief Market road, the 2 kilometre Works Layout road linking Okigwe road junction and the Standard Shoe Industry owned by the state.

Other roads commissioned by the Vice President include Umuowa-Owerri Umudioka road, BSC road Orlu, Orlu-Uruala-Akokwa Road (17km) Orlu Amaigbo road and Orlu-Mgbidi road. Alhaji Atiku commended governor Achike Udenwe for constructing the access roads which were very strategic in the economic development of the state.

In the case of Orlu-Urualla, Akokwa Federal Road, the Vice President noted that the Federal Government always reinbursed states when they repaired such roads and urged the state government to forward the bill for the construction of the roads to the Presidency.
