The Anambra State Executive Council has awarded more road contracts.
Glamtush reports that the 37th Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC) has awarded the contracts for the construction of new roads in the state in preparation for the yuletide season.
This is aimed at ensuring a memorable Christmas for Ndi Anambra, who will be celebrating the season in the state, from across the country and other parts of the globe.
In a release by the Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, ANSEC, at its 37th meeting, approved the construction of the 3.75 km Igwe Orizu Road in Nnewi to New Idea Construction Company Ltd, to be completed within six months.
The 10.8 km Nkwor Nnewi to Nkwor Oraifite was awarded to Infratech Construction Ltd at N7.2 billion, with a 12-month completion timeline, while the Oraukwu-Abatete-Nimo bypass in Idemili North measuring 4.922 km was awarded to GMG Global Construction and Development Company Ltd, with a delivery date of six months.
At the meeting, the Council observed that many roads awarded at the last executive council meeting, including the New Tarzan Road and the three roads whose contracts were revoked and re-awarded, have not been reported.
Recently, Governor Soludo kept his promise with the completion of the 12.5 km Ezira-Umuomaku-Enugu Umuonyia-Achina Road, linking several communities, and the 11.9 km Mmiata-Anam-Nzam road, linking the headquarters of Anambra West Local Government Area (LGA).
With the ongoing and completed road projects in the state, Governor Soludo has turned Anambra into a construction site in his pursuit of transforming the state into a country-wide destination brand.
