The recent fabricated video by certain elements purporting a washed-off portion of the Ochanja road has been condemned by residents of the area. Pastor Chinedu Asika, a property owner and resident of the area while speaking on behalf of the residents, denounces the lies being orchestrated and exaggerated in the viral video purporting a washed-off of the road still under construction.
According
to him
"There
is a small part of the road where the contractors were working before the heavy
rainfall. They had not finished that portion of the road before the rain
started and obviously, when the heavy rain fell it affected the small part of
the road which has now been fixed and it is of high standard from what we can
see".
There is nothing politicians
can't play politics with", he concluded.
Engr Ifeanyi Okoma, the
State Commissioner for Works laughed off the viral video and condemned the
group or persons behind the video, created to mislead the public.
“This
is clearly the work of mischief makers trying to sabotage the countless
achievements of the Anambra State Government that is working tirelessly to make
the State a liveable and prosperous homeland. This false video shows an
uncompleted portion of the road that was washed off by the rains that halted
the project by construction workers. This is an obvious act of sabotage by
enemies of good works in Anambra”, the commissioner stated.
The
commissioner further emphasized that the contractor worked on Sunday and only
about one foot from where he stopped was washed as a result of the downpour and
blocked drainages along the road. Engr. Okoma added that the road was not yet
inaugurated by the State Government as earlier reported by the trending online
reports and urged the public to disregard the video.
Mark Tu, the
Head of the contracting firm in charge of the Ochanja road project also
expressed his disappointment at the video.
“It is
a huge disappointment that someone took the time to record such a video.
However, I can assure the public that our company has a good track record of
delivering quality road projects that stand the test of time, and the Ochanja
road project will not be an exception” he said.
Some
traders and residents were interviewed in the area, and they lauded the State
Government for the construction while expressing their optimism that the
weather will allow for the completion of the project to uplift and empower the
communities around. They also expressed their satisfaction and gratitude to the
State Government for the quality of the already asphalted 1.7km road.
The
Anambra State Government, under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukwuma
Soludo, is committed to building a liveable and prosperous smart megacity by
focusing on its 5-Solution Agenda which are: Security, Law and Order; Economic
Transformation and Infrastructure; Human Capital and Social Agenda; Governance,
Rule of Law and Value System; and the Environment. The
Governor has demonstrated his two years of excellence in office with over 100
sterling achievements, without borrowing a dime for any project!
Soludo’s
administration is committed to Doing More With Less – No Borrowing, which is a
testament to Anambra State’s unwavering commitment to fostering sustainable
development, enhancing the quality of life for its citizens, and laying a
robust foundation for the future prosperity of Anambra State.
