Governor Charles Soludo has completed the construction of the 2.62 km Bank Road in Nnewi, which connects to St. Mary’s Cathedral Church in Uruagu Nnewi. This is part of his administration’s ongoing urban infrastructural development plan for Anambra state.
The newly constructed road, which was in a deplorable condition, has been brought back to life, as asphalt has now been fully laid on it. Another phase comprises street lights that illuminate at night and markings to enhance traffic flow.
In a statement by Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor’s infrastructural drive is a new phase of development in making Anambra the Japan of Africa, an initiative that underscores his commitment to transforming the state into a destination for businesses and economic activities to thrive.
This is also evident in the governor’s project to reshape Ekwulobia, one of the major towns in Anambra State, into a cosmopolitan city, amongst other developments in the state, with a newly constructed flyover that has reduced traffic gridlock and connects local businesses to a broader market, with illumination.
Other projects embarked upon at Ekwulobia include adjoining roads such as the Nanka-Ekwulobia-Aguata Council Area Headquarters’ two-kilometre road and Ekwulobia-Isuofia one-point-one-two-five-kilometre road; as well as other ancillary structures and facilities. There is a modern bus terminal, fuel station, security office, fire station, and other external works, such as sewage treatment facilities, drainage, and landscaping, among others.
The governor is also constructing an ultra-modern market to accommodate traders, with a motor park, a sports and recreation facilities for local and international events and cultural festivals.
