Erosion: Soludo Asks FG To Declare State Of Emergency On Enugu-Onitsha Expressway Project
Governor Chukwuma Soludo has raised concerns over the widening erosion on Anambra Airport axis of Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
Governor Soludo visited the erosion site to ascertain the level of damage on the road project which seems to have been abandoned by the construction firm.
Governor Soludo said it has become imperative to raise concerns over the fast expanding erosion site which is threatening to cut the major highway and expressed dismay over the speed of the construction by RCC and MTN.
He said if urgent efforts are not made for the contractors to return to site and remedy the situation, it might soon degenerate to the situation as seen in Oba axis of Onitsha-Owerri Expressway which cost the state billions of naira to intervene.
The governor, therefore, sent an SOS to the Federal Government to declare state of emergency on the road which has inflicted sufferings on the people of South East region for years.
The Anambra Governor added that the deplorable condition of the road has made the state airport more difficult to access.
