The Chairman of Ika North-East Local Government Council, Hon. Monday Hunkanma Odigwe, has opened an additional turning point on the Old Lagos–Asaba Road, opposite Memeh/Abude Street, Boji-Boji Agbor, Delta State.
Speaking at the scene, the Council Chairman explained that the decision to break the constructed pavement previously used to demarcate the road was informed by the difficulties motorists and other road users faced when attempting to make a turn from the traffic light at Owa-Ekei Road Junction.
He noted that the long distance motorists had to travel before finding an appropriate turning point necessitated the intervention, adding that the new opening would ease movement and provide greater convenience for road users.
Hon. Odigwe assured residents that he would continue to use his office to facilitate more developmental projects and bring further improvements to the road and Ika North-East Local Government Area in general.
It would be recalled that Hon. Monday Hunkanma Odigwe has consistently demonstrated concern for the condition of the Old Lagos–Asaba Road, particularly by ensuring that repairs are carried out whenever flooding damages sections of the road.
Some residents who spoke with an Ika Weekly Newspaper reporter at the scene expressed appreciation to the Council Chairman for the intervention, commending his efforts towards improving the road and easing the difficulties faced by motorists. They also prayed for God’s continued blessings, wisdom and strength upon him.
