Enugu Govt To Complete 22 Rural Roads Before End Of Tenure

The Enugu State Gov
ernment says it has set aside  22 rural roads for completion before the end of its tenure.
The Commissioner for Works, Mr Goddy Madueke, said this in Enugu during an interview with newsmen recently.
Madueke promised that contractors would begin work during the dry season, to complete all the designated rural roads.
He said the lull in activities at the project sites was as a result of the rainy season, adding that it made road construction very difficult.
The commissioner said the ministry had commenced the inspection of recently-constructed roads in the state.
He listed some of the roads to include Amofia-Agu-Udi, Nenwe-Oduma, Ninth Mile-Udi-Akpakume-Nze roads, Ozalla-Ihe-Awgu.
“We are set to complete 22 rural roads in the state. Our contractors who used the opportunity of the rainy seasons to go on vacation are returning gradually.
“Very soon, the contractors  will increase the pace of work to make sure that we meet our set goals. A lot of construction activities will start now.
“When contractors had over the constructed roads to us, they still maintain them for  one year.
“If there are damages within that one year, they will fix them at no cost to the government,” the commissioner said.
Madueke assured the people, especially rural dwellers, that the government was determined to complete the projects.
