MEMBER REPRESENTING MBAITOLI/IKEDURU FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY HIS EXCELLENCY HON. BETHEL NNAEMEKA AMADI INSPECTS THE FERMA REHABILITATION OF THE OWERRI-OKIGWE HIGHWAY



The member representing Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency and President of Pan African Parliament, His Excellency Rt. Hon Bethel Nnaemeka Amadi on Tuesday November 20, 2012 inspected the road rehabilitation project of the damaged portions of the Owerri-Okigwe Highway.

It would be recalled that on Thursday November 8, 2012 the House of Representatives passed a motion sponsored by Hon Bethel Amadi mandating FERMA and the Federal Ministry of Works to as a matter of urgency, repair the damaged portion of the Owerri-Okigwe Federal Highway.

In moving the motion on the floor of the House of Representatives H.E. Hon. Bethel Amadi expressed concern that the deplorable state of this very important highway has been causing frequent road accidents, which has resulted in the loss of lives and properties.

Following the inspection of the rehabilitation work, Hon Amadi stated that he was delighted that FERMA had heeded to his call on behalf of his constituents and the people of Imo State in ensuring total and complete rehabilitation of this very important major highway.

Noting the importance of this ever busy highway which connects the capital city of Imo State, Owerri, to other parts of Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia State, Hon Amadi applauded FERMA for the speed with which this project is being executed especially with the approaching yuletide period.

Hon Amadi is pleased with the current level of restoration and rehabilitation of this road which prior to his intervention was impassable and was causing untold and unprecedented hardship to road users and commuters. He is further pleased that threat previously posed by the deplorable condition of the road has been virtually eradicated with this ongoing rehabilitation work and that commercial social and economic activities of his constituents will no longer be negatively impacted as was the case prior to his legislative motion.
Hon. Bethel Amadi was accompanied on the inspection trip by some members of the Imo State Executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including the State Secretary, Chief George Egu, and the Publicity Secretary, Chief Blyden Amajirionwu.
