Soludo Unveils Innovative Paving Stone Road Project In Anambra Community by okeychris(m): 9:43am On Jul 19 |
By Okechukwu Okechukwu The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) has successfully completed a groundbreaking 130-meter road in Amansea, Awka North Local Government Area. The road, constructed using paving stones, features a complete drainage system and solar-powered street lights. This project is part of a broader initiative to enhance inner-city roads in the capital, introducing a new model for road construction that is both cost-effective and durable. Addressing residents of Amaowelle Village in Amansea during the commissioning of the project, ACTDA Managing Director, Mr. Ossy Onuko, emphasized the strategic importance of the project, which aims to experiment with the use of paving stones for road construction. Inspired by successful implementations in other cities, Onuko stressed the project's potential to be replicated throughout Awka capital territory. Commending Mr. Onuko for the project, member representing Awka North Constituency in the State House of Assembly Honorable John Mark Ikwunne praised Governor Soludo's appointment of effective leaders like Onuko. He noted that the project sets a new standard for infrastructure in the state and is expected to last over time. On his part , the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Ifeanyi Okoma, represented by Director of Highway Mr. Noel Okoye, affirmed the longevity and quality of the rigid pavement. He praised the Governor's support for such innovative projects. Also, the contractor that handled the project, Engineer Ojukwu Vincent, described the meticulous construction process which included extensive excavation of the swampy area, replacing bad soil with sharp sand, and multiple compaction stages to ensure the road's durability. He assured that the paving stone road is easy to maintain and built to last. Additionally, Rev. Father Azubike Raphael Onyekwelu commended the governor's comprehensive efforts in road construction, security, and other developmental areas. He highlighted the project's success in alleviating flooding issues and improving mobility for local residents. The unveiling ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Transition Committee Chairman of Awka South, Prince Chinedu Okafor, Deputy Majority Leader and Chairman of the House Committee on Lands, Head of Development at ACTDA, Mr. Uche Ekwunife, TC Chairman of Njikoka Barr. Chinedu Ononiba and TC Chairman Orumba South Mr. Shedrck Azubike.

If that pix is what this news is about, Fashola has been doing long when he became the Governor of Lagos State. Many street roads on the island were built like this. I don't know why he didn't promote it as federal minister of works the way Dave Umahi is promoting cement technology now. 1 Like 1 Share |

Soludo didn't build the road, it was built by The Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA). A governor will never construct and commission a 130 metres road 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie:You mentioned Rome so I just made an allusion based on it. I hope the English is right |
Re: Soludo Unveils Innovative Paving Stone Road Project In Anambra Community by Kobojunkie: 6:49pm On Jul 19 |
RealityKings:The current allusion, since Rome was a Nation would be comparing it directly to Nigeria where the very same practice is found across the board, not just in Akwa. |
