Governor Uzodinma, From Where Do You Get Funds? |The Source

By Willie Amadi

“What has happened in the Capital City and other Local Governments is a road revolution.This particular road has a world class underground ballon drainage system of eight to twelve metres depth

“I am an indigene of Owerri municipal. By way of introduction I am a lawyer by profession and the Federal Commissioner, Public Complaints Commission Nigeria and the only High Chief of the whole five autonomous communities in Owerri municipal. I have lived here for the past 20 years and understand the character of flooding in this area. We have been under constant massive deluge during each rainy season.

“I want to thank the Governor for singling out this particular road within six months in office and completing it. After Wethedral road, Chukwuma Nwoha is the next connecting road across the entire municipality and the Owerri Federal constituency.

“This road serves as an artery to so many local governments from this point of the city. It is quite heart warming that the governor took up to dualize this road with street lights, walk ways and beautiful synages. I want to congratulate and appreciate you for that.

“I keep wondering where you get the funds for these rapid and simultaneous quality road construction. I speak on behalf of the public who complained at the inception  of your administration. The public seem to be happy now and I urge you to keep the faith.

During the administration of Ikedi Ohakim, the current Commissioner for works Chief Barrister Ralph Nwosu  and I, with His  Excellecy  Dr. Ikedinachi Ohakim, came to this point with consultants, looked at the problem of this place and decided that an underground drainage system will save the flooding of Federal Housing, Aladinma and Prefab Housing estates.

“Many landlords, co-landlords sold their properties and left. I could’nt leave. Late Izuonye Izugbokwe, who was a Town Planner and Engineer vacated his compound and sold it. But today, most people who sold thiers are regreting it and many more people are happy today for not selling their houses.

Governor, I want to thank you for what you have done. As you reconstruct and rebuild the roads in Owerri Municipal; As you dualize the roads in Owerri; As you create happiness  here, may the good Lord give you and your family happiness in Jesus name.

Barr. Amadi,  Federal Commissioner, Public Complaints Commission Nigeria, spoke on behalf of the Residents of the Chukwuma Area of Owerri, on the occasion of the commissioning of the strategic road by the Governor Hope Uzodinma Government on Tuesday, April 12, 2020.
