Rehabilitation of Wetheral - Aba road (akachi)

Due to the lateness in the award of the aforementioned road contracts and according to various press releases from His Excellency, Hon Emeka Ihedioha and his commissioner for works, Engr Ben Ekwueme the delay in the award was due to technical and logistics issues. The paper work and award proper were done between October and November. By January 14th, Supreme Court in an election petition tribunal, sacked Hon Emeka Ihedioha and declared Senator Hope Uzodinma as Governor of Imo State.
It could interest you to note that before January 14th Supreme Court Verdict removing Ihedioha as Imo State Governor, majority of the awarded road were mobilised while some weren't mobilised but contractors are encouraged to start work pending when they will be mobilised .
Interestingly , Governor Hope Uzodinma has continued from where his predecessors stopped. While many contractors have refused to return to site post Ihedioha era, some had listened to Governor Hope Uzodinma call for continuity in government projects. While some who were completely out to sabotage the present administration had their contracts terminated and new contractors awarded the job. Some who weren't mobilised under Ihedioha administration but were told to start work withdrew from project sites pending further negotiations with current government.

Moreso, road numbers 21 (Control Post - World Bank - Umuguma Road, 23 (Assumpta - Ibari Ogwa - PH Road) , 24  (Mcc - Toronto Junction Road) have been reawarded to another construction company by Senator Uzodinma. The zero pothole initiative of Ihedioha administration is sustained by Uzodinma administration leading to many bad spots receiving serious rehabilitation and maintenance through the ministry of works.

Governor Uzodinma on his own had initiated and awarded many Imo roads and works are speedily ongoing unannounced.

They include:

1.
Oparanozie /Edede/Royce Road
