UMUAHIA – The Igbo Community Association ,Abuja, has tasked the Minister of Works,Engr. David Umahi, to urgently make efforts to fix the federal highway linking the South East zone with other parts of the country before the yuletide.
In a statement by its President General and Emmanuel Onah, Nze Ikenna Ellis- Ezenekwe and Emmanuel Onah, respectively, the group said it is worried over the silence of the federal government to the deplorable state of federal road networks connecting the South-East geo-political zone with the rest of the country.
It noted that key arterial routes linking the South-East to the South-West, North-Central, and South-South regions have become death traps, causing motorists and commuters to suffer severe gridlock, destruction of vehicles, loss of lives and heightened security risks.
