Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has commended President Bola Tinubu for approving two new Federal road projects in Anambra State, describing the development as a turning point for Igboland and national integration.
The two roads are the 108km Otuocha–Anam–Abaji Road, which links Anambra to Kogi State and would open a direct route to the North Central region of the country, as well as the 150km Oba–Nnewi–Uga–Ihube/Okigwe Junction Road, which is a corridor that connects Anambra and Imo states to the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway, with direct linkages into Abia State.
Soludo’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Dr Ebuka Onyekwelu, said in a statement in Awka that apart from reducing travel time, the new roads would lower the cost of goods, improve security through increased movement, and unlock investment across three geopolitical zones.
