Minister of States for Mines and Steel Development, Uche Ogah has said the approval of Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia (LOT2) for rehabilitation and construction is a benefit to Ndigbo.

ABN TV reports that Dr. Ogah expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari and Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola and all members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approval of the road for construction.

He also thanked the Senator representing Abia North, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu and the member representing Bende Federal Constituency, Hon. Benjamin Kalu for their painstaking efforts in securing the approval of the road for construction.

Fashola had on Wednesday during the weekly FEC meeting announced the approval of the Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia road.

Dr. Ogah in a statement on Wednesday reiterated that the federal government is committed to foster the inclusiveness of Ndigbo in national affairs.

According to the Minister, the road when completed will ease the burden associated with plying the roads.

He further said apart from creating direct and indirect jobs for youths, it will connect the rural communities to urban centre as well as increase farmers’ value chain especially with the opportunity of transporting their produce to the urban centres.

While expressing optimism that contractors will soon be mobilised to site, he called on the benefitting communities to co-operate with contractors to ensure timely completion of the project.
