PH Business Community Decries Continuous Road Diversion
Business Operators, along the GRA-Waterlines Junction of Port Harcourt/Aba Express Road, Rivers State have complained of the continuous closure of the road over the ongoing non-conclusion of the March 9,2019 Governorship and State Assembly election process in the state.
The Manager of a Fast Food outfit at GRA Junction, Albert Aigbe, said that business has slowed down.
Aigbe expressed his disappointment in a chat with The Tide, saying it has made business operators on that axis incure huge losses due to the inability of their clients to access the place.
A resident of Presidential Estate, Mr Promise Omordi, noted that it has become a source of concern, saying ”The difficulty encountered negotiating alternative routs has always been worrisome. By the time you manage to get to your place of work you experience fatigue and that makes you underproductive”.
Omordi wonder why the continued closure of the road when the government could easily increase security personnel within the premises of INEC.
A commuter caught in the gridlock Mrs Isabella Nwisi lamented that the continued closure of the road has brought untold hardship to motorists and transporters, saying the time spent on that road to get to one’s destination could be put to good use”.
Nwisi observed that businesses around the area were suffering low patronage, explaining that, ”the closure of the road would impact directly or indirectly on the economy of the state and have adverse effect on the people who could loose their jobs. If a business is not making profit it would definitely want to downsize”.
She appealed to the relevant authorities to consider reopening the road to ease the traffic on the road, and reduce the suffering of the masses.
