Ben Kalu Thanks Fashola As FEC Approves Rehabilitation/Construction Of Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia Road

The member representing Bende Federal Constituency, Rep. Benjamin Kalu has expressed gratitude to the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola.

This follows the approval for rehabilitation and construction of the Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia Road (LOT2) in Abia State by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The Minister announced the approval of the construction of the road on Wednesday during the FEC meeting.

It is expected that the rehabilitation will take off from the Umuahia axis of the road.

In a statement obtained by our correspondent on Wednesday, the Federal lawmaker thanked Minister Fashola for what he called listening ear, consideration, and support over the last one year regarding the approval and repair of the Bende-Ohafia road.

He said, “I thank the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola for taking this project as his own over the last year. The people of Bende have suffered greatly as a result of the severe dilapidation of the Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia road.

“I am very impressed with the excellence demonstrated by the staff of the Ministry of Works during my engagements with them for this federal government’s intervention.

“I particularly appreciate the Federal Executive Council, the Ministry of Works Permanent Secretary, the former acting permanent secretary Engr. Yemi, the Director of Works – South-East highways Eng. Funso Adebiyi, as well as the staff at the Abia state office of the Ministry who worked diligently doing the measurement and design of the road.

“I also congratulate the contractor- Hartland Construction, and am hopeful that they will be funded immediately to commence work from the Umuahia axis having secured this approval”.

Hon. Kalu expressed hopes that economic activities in his constituency would enjoy a boost upon completion of the project.
