IMO INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT: THE CONSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION OF OWERRI/MBAISE/OBOWO/UMUAHIA ROAD



Looking at the Imo of today and yesterday, the comparison will rather leave you in a state of bewilderment as it concerns road construction and rehabilitation. This is because no government in Imo State has invested hugely in quality road construction like the shared prosperity government of Gov. Hope Uzodimma.


“Khaki no be leather” is a clear explanation that although we have seen road been constructed in the past but make no mistake to say they are of good quality and durable as most of them if not all are now history as either acidic rain or torrential rainfall formed the basis of these abysmal outcome by previous administrations in the state.


Gov. Hope Uzodimma and his shared prosperity government standing on the tripod of the 3R mantra initiative of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery has continued to prove his mettle as a government that focused towards bringing a paradigm shift in governance as it concerns road construction and rehabilitation in Imo state.


Imo State is literally a construction site as there is no dilapidated road begging for government attention that has not been noticed. Moreso,  many of them have been completed while others are near completion and Imolites without sentiments can truly applaud the state government for this laudable achievements amongst many others.


The Owerri/Mbaise/Obowo/Umuahia road like many other roads in the state has over the years called for government attention as both a link road and a federal road. Previous administrations in the state have only ended up reminding the people how bad that road is through constant “Patch-Patch” work which has continued to deepen the woes of motorists and the dangers that comes with a bad road network.


Gov. Hope Uzodimma understands the cost effect and the bureaucracy associated with construction of federal roads but a leader must at a point take daring steps that can ameliorate the pains of his people irrespective of the consequences and that has given the nod to approve the construction and rehabilitation of the Owerri/Mbaise/Obowo/Umuahia road by Gov. Hope Uzodimma.


While it may not have ended at approving the construction and rehabilitation of the road, the state government have equally awarded the road construction to Craneburg Construction Company, a World Class company that has proven over the years to be one of the best in civil construction using quality and durable materials in line with global best practices.


Craneburg Construction Company is currently working on the Owerri-Orlu road and Owerri-Okigwe road which is near completion and those who ply through these routes can only appreciate the technical know-how of this company as regards to road construction and there is no doubt that the Owerri/Mbaise/Obowo/Umuahia road will receive a similar touch of professionalism, standardization and quality materials that will make the road durable and stand the test of time.


There is no doubt that better days are coming if not already here with us especially with the pace of ongoing road construction in Imo State by the present administration of Gov. Hope Uzodimma not to mention other areas of governance which has placed Imo State on the map of socio-economic development and good governance.
