Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has called on
the federal government to save the Onitsha-Enugu
Expressway from caving into gully erosion that has
affected parts of the newly constructed flyover along
New Parts market, Nkpor, Idemili North council area.

The Governor made the call, yesterday, October 29,
while inspecting the havoc being wreaked by the erosion
on the road.

He disclosed that he has contacted the President after
inspecting the site recently, mandated IDC construction
firm to mobilize to site and start palliative work, to save
the road.

He stated that the federal government owes the state
an outstanding twenty-five billion naira spent on the
reconstruction of federal roads in the state, a reason
why it must get permission from the federal government
before embarking on palliative work on the site.

The Governor made it clear that the state alone cannot
undertake the erosion project which will run into billions
of naira, and advised the citizenry to bear with the state
while it pressurizes the federal government to come
to its aid.
