In keeping with his promise to create
more urban centres for socio-economic expansion and recovery, Enugu State
Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has flagged a N358 million development project at
Mgbowo junction, recently approved by the state executive council.
The multi-purpose project, which
will serve as a gateway to the state capital through Enugu-Port Harcourt
expressway, has solar-powered street lights, road network, drainage system and
a police post to enhance the security of the area.
Flagging off the projectyesterday,
Ugwuanyi explained that it was in line with his administration’s urban renewal
vision. He added that it would engender socio-economic development of the
council area in particular, and the state in general, as well as give the
state’s gateway a facelift.
The governor disclosed that the
project would be executed in line with international best practices, and
appealed to the people of the area to cooperate with the construction company
handling the work, by respecting the rules and building standard.
Earlier, in his welcome address, the
Transition Committee Chairman of Awgu Local Government Area, Ugonna Ibe,
appreciated the governor for his special interest in the council area, saying
that the project would turn around the economic activities for the benefit of
the people of the area and the state at large.
