Today marked another historic moment for our beloved city of Aba as we continue to embark on the journey to restore its former glory.

I am pleased to announce the official flag-off of the reconstruction of the 3.5km Osisioma - Ekeakpara Road. The road starts from Osisioma junction and terminates just after Ekeakpara market. Streetlights will be provided throughout the length of the road. The project will be executed by WILANGY NIGERIA LTD.
For too long, Aba has suffered from neglect, but no more. The road is more than just asphalt and concrete; it is a lifeline for the industrious people of Aba, a city that has nurtured dreams and fostered the spirit of entrepreneurship. The deterioration of this crucial artery contributed to Aba's decline, but today, we turn a new page. The Osisioma-Ekeakpara road will once again become a bustling hub of activity, supporting the NNPC Depot and numerous industries along the Osisioma industrial stretch.
I have also mandated strict supervision of the project by the Commissioner for Works. We expect to commission this road in 12 months, and it will be designed to withstand and endure the heavy traffic flow of large trucks and logistical vehicles.
To support our shared dream, I encourage our citizens to play their part. Pay your taxes, support the task force in keeping our environment and drainage systems clear even as the rain approaches and be patient as we build a better tomorrow.
Together, we will see Aba rise again, stronger and more prosperous than ever.
