The final stage of the inspection of the design for the dualization of the Abia Tower to Amawom half of the Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Federal Road has been completed by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
The Team Leader of the Ministry, Engineer Emmanuel Adama, informed the member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Sam Onuigbo, that the team came to confirm the final design for the construction of an interchange at Abia Tower and the dualization of the road from Abia Tower to Amawom.
After the inspection of the design, the team proceeded to inspect the work being done by Messrs Hartland and Raycon Nigeria LTD, on the Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Federal Road. According to the team, it was important to ascertain the extent of the work done by the contractors who were awarded the contract for the reconstruction of the Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Federal Road by the Federal Government, and to also ensure that they were progressing according to design and specifications approved by the Ministry.
Reacting to the visit of the team from the Ministry of Works and Housing, Elder Abraham Osondu, who is the Liaison Officer of Rt. Hon. Sam Onuigbo, in statement, thanked the Ministry for taking seriously efforts to address the traffic gridlock commuters experience at the Abia Tower axis of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway through the construction of an interchange of what is popularly called flyover bridge at that spot. He commended the Ministry also for the take-off of the reconstruction of the Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Federal Road which aligns with the passionate desire of Rt. Hon. Onuigbo to address the infrastructural needs of his people, and pledged the continuous support of the Honourable Member and his constituents to efforts that will bring development to the constituency.
Present at the inspection was a representative of Hancook Ogundiya and Partners— the consulting firm carrying out the design of the construction of the Abia Tower Interchange and the dualization of the road to Amawom— Engineer Peter Monye.
The construction of an interchange at Abia Tower, and the dualization of the road from Abia Tower, through Library Avenue Umuahia, to Amawom Oboro in Ikwuano Local Government Area is a separate project from the ongoing reconstruction of the Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Federal Road.
