According to Ngige, though the  roads are Federal Government owned, they are used by Anambra people mainly. He reminded the contractors that both the  Federal and Anambra State Governments belong to the ruling PDP, saying that there was need for the people to enjoy the  dividends of democracy. Ngige spoke Wednesday during an interactive session with six of the contractors handling the project. Stressing the need to hasten work on the roads, Ngige reminded them that before long the people of Anambra State would  begin to return home for the Christmas celebration, pointing out that it would be sad if they are made to go through the  “harrowing experience of passing through the dilapidated roads”. To ensure that the works are completed on schedule, Ngige  announced that the interactive session would be held regularly. He advised the contractors to contact him if they experience any  difficulties in pursuing their bills, even as he promised to speak with the Works and Housing Minister. The contractors involved are RCC, Master Holdings, F.G.N. Okoye, Setraco and Centriforge and Grandstar Construction  Company Ltd. Meanwhile, with the rains getting heavier, the roads in Onitsha are becoming impassable. The Onitsha end of the  Enugu-Awka-Onitsha Federal road, just after the old toll-gate has virtually been taken over by dangerous potholes, causing  terrible traffick jam and inflicting several damages on the vehicles plying the road. Also, the stretch from Nkpor New Parts  Market to Borromew has also become impassable.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
