Civil Liberties Organization CLO Anambra State Branch has call on Gov Charles Soludo to listen to cries, excruciating sufferings, agony and pains experience by residents, citizens, commuters and visitors living around Federal Housing,3-3, Nsugbe, Nkwelle axis on daily basis due to deplorable and dilapidated condition of the roads.
It will be recall that journey that is supposed to take twenty minutes cost between two to three hours on daily basis.
Most pathetic and unbelievable is exorbitant cost of transportation in the area.
The unbridled quest for wealth by commercial drivers plying the roads makes the situation unbearable and despicable.
It is no exaggeration but existential reality that they charge between #500 to #800 in a journey that is supposed to cost #200.
Sometimes residents sleep in their relations and friends house at Onitsha due to traffic jam and escalating cost of transportation.
This is contained in a press statement issued to newsmen tagged “will the sufferings ever end”endorsed by Evangelist Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme Chairman and Comrade Chidi Mbah Secretary respectively called on Gov.Soludo to decongest 3-3 Nkwelle roads by urgently award contract for construction and rehabilitation of Obinna Ilo street that will link 3-3 with Nkpor in Idemili North LG and 3-3 to Nkwelle junction by express this will certainly in no small measures decongest 3-3 , Federal Housing roads.Recall that Obinna Ilo street with spur at St Charles bus stop is very strategic that when constructed those going to Nkpor and Onitsha will ply the road without going through 3-3, Federal Housing roads.
His Excellency should in his usual magnanimity send his Commissioners for Works and Transport to pay working and accessible visits to the areas to enable government take urgent and immediate actions.
There is no doubt in our minds that this will injects more life and hope in the citizens and ameliorates their plights and predicament.
We equally thanks his Excellency for massive on going roads constructions and rehabilitations across the state and revolution in our educational system.
