All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for approving N25 billion to rebuild the failed Enugu/Lopkanta section of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.
A statement by the Publicity Secretary, Benedict Godson, lamented the hardship commuters and motorists had been experiencing on that spot. According to him, it was a relief Buhari approved money for the repairs.
Godson appealed to Buhari and Minister of Works Babatunde Fashola to remember other federal roads in the state, including Osisioma section of Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway; Aba-Ikot Ekpene, Aba-Azumini, Umuahia/Ikwuano/Ikot Ekpene expressways.
He said: “We thank President Muhammadu Buhari for approving N25 billion for the Enugu/Lokpanta section of the Enugu/Port Harcourt highway.
That axis has been a huge problem for our people over the years and we’re happy it’s now taken care of.
“Nobody can deny the fact that under the President Buhari, major federal roads in the Southeast that were dead traps have received attentions.
The Akanu Ibiam International Airport project is not news anymore as the Federal Government has left its footprint there.”
