Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has reiterated his commitment to make the proposed Ntigha dry port a reality before the end of his tenure in 2023, urging the people to disregard rumours that he intends to abandon the project and others.
The governor noted that he is desperate to actualize the establishment of the dry port, adding that there could be no better gift to Abia people than a dry port of final destination, where people would clear their goods in the State.
The Governor spoke at the commissioning of the first phase of the newly constructed AMAOJI JUNCTION-ABAYI- ISI COURT ROAD in Isiala Ngwa North LGA where he also flagged off the construction of the second and final phase of the road.
Dr. Ikpeazu said he would deploy every resource to ensure the project is fully delivered and the second phase commissioned soon, assuring Abians he would continue to serve the people and deliver democracy dividends to them
In a statement made available to Metronetworknews by his chief press secretary, Mr. Onyebuchi Ememanka, the governor called on the benefiting communities to nurture the road as it would be a disservice for the people to burn tires or erect illegal speed breaks on the road.
