Gov Ugwuanyi Reiterates His Administration’s Commitment to Start-To-Finish Policy

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state, on Thursday, inaugurated the 2.85km Last Bus-Stop (Abakpa Nike)-Nkwo Nike Junction Road in Enugu East Local Government Area newly reconstructed by his administration to strategically divert traffic from the ongoing construction of the first Enugu State government’s flyover bridge at T-junction, Nike Lake Road.

Inaugurating the road amid jubilation from residents, Gov Ugwuanyi disclosed that the infrastructure was deliberately conceived and executed by his administration to ease the traffic congestion in the area occasioned by the ongoing flyover bridge project.

The governor added that the project was also in keeping with the state government's concerted efforts to revitalise parts of the Enugu metropolis, facilitate investments, inspire private developments, stimulate economic growth and reinvigorate the urban renewal initiative.

He explained that the road cuts across over eight communities in Enugu East LGA and was redesigned and reconstructed to a standard single carriageway of 7.3m width with 2.5m wide shoulders on either side, concrete-lined drains and five number culverts superbly delivered on a target six month completion period, “typical of our administration’s policy of Start-To-Finish”.
