The Dualization of Nwagu Agulu – Nnobi – Nnewi – Ozubulu – Okija Roads: A Gateway to Boost Transportation of Goods and Services
*By Izuchukwu Adichie*
Effective road infrastructure is the backbone of any thriving society, playing a crucial role in accelerating economic transformation. Under Soludo’s government, Anambra State has embarked on an ambitious journey to significantly enhance its road network by dualizing major roads. This policy not only bolsters industrial growth but also streamlines the delivery of goods and services while ensuring that travel becomes a seamless and pleasurable experience for both residents and visitors alike.
Understanding the urgent need for modernization, Soludo has awarded the construction and dualization of the all-important Nwagu Agulu – Neni – Nnokwa – Adazi – Nnobi – Nnewi – Ozubulu – Okija Roads, an impressive stretch of 36 kilometers. This infrastructure project is expected to link the state transport network.
Reflecting on the past, one cannot help but lament that this vital stretch of road should have been dualized fifteen years ago when cement, gas and other materials for road construction were cheap commodities. Alas, their lack of vision and ambition left it marred by neglect, a stark reminder of what could have been. Now, under Soludo, there is renewed hope for a prosperous homeland, marked by enhanced connectivity and accessibility, signifying that truly: the Solution Is Here!!
