Amid encomia from Imo people over the construction of flyovers, bridges and roads across the State, courtesy of the intentional leadership of Governor Hope Uzodimma, the Governor has said that his government is not just building bridges and flyovers, but committed to the delivery of sound structural and enduring infrastructure to the people.
Commenting on two critical projects in the State awaiting commissioning shortly – the Assumpta Cathedral Flyover and the Chukwuma Nwoha Road connecting Orji Flyover to MCC Junction – Governor Uzodimma insisted that both projects are nothing but “engineering masterpiece,” and a “symbol of excellence that will redefine urban mobility in Owerri.”
Governor Uzodimma maintains that all the projects conceived by his administration will stand the test of time even as he thanked the contractors for retaining the specifications for the projects.
“The Assumpta Flyover is an engineering masterpiece, conceived with precision to address the longstanding traffic congestion at the Control Post.
“Every aspect of its design — from the piers to the abutments, the decking to the reinforcements — reflects our commitment to quality, standard, and durability.
“We are not just building a bridge; we are delivering a structurally sound and enduring infrastructure that will stand the test of time.
“With the progress recorded so far, it is clear that the contractors are working diligently, in strict compliance with the contractual terms.
“I want to assure Ndi Imo that what we are delivering is more than a flyover — it is a symbol of excellence, a flawlessly engineered solution that will redefine urban mobility in Owerri.”
Governor Uzodimma is also impressed with the quality of engineering deployed on the Chukwuma Nwoha Road by the contractor, saying he looks back with pride at the progress his administration has made in infrastructure.
“The journey to transform Imo State’s road infrastructure has been both challenging and rewarding. Over the years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to redefining urban mobility, one project at a time.
“Today, I look back with pride at the progress we’ve made, most recently marked by the successful completion of the Chukwuma Nwoha Road.
“Stretching from the Orji Flyover to MCC Junction, this newly built dual carriageway features a modern drainage system and solar-powered street lighting – an engineering feat that not only beautifies but also enhances safety and functionality.
“The road has already begun to stimulate economic activity along the corridor, easing the long-standing difficulties faced by commuters and businesses alike.
“This milestone affirms our resolve and we will continue to deliver transformative road networks that shape a prosperous future for Imo State.”
Commendations and prayers have started pouring in from residents affected by the two projects in question with one Mrs. Chiamaka Nwosu describing Governor Uzodimma’s administration as, “God sent.”
Also, Mr. Phillip Njoku who runs a transport business along the Assumpta Cathedral Flyover said that “Governor Uzodimma has surprised everyone.”
Both Mrs. Nwosu and Mr. Njoku were full of prayers to God to grant the Governor the strength to continue with his people oriented services to Imo State.
