Govt special announcement

Press Release
December 14, 2015.
The Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has decided to embark on
a massive grading of some rural roads during this dry season.
To this effect, all Members of the House of Assembly, Commissioners, TC
Chairmen and other government appointees from each local government
area are to meet and cause a stakeholders meeting to be convened in
their different local councils to determine the roads to be earmarked for
the grading work.
The selection of the roads in each of the wards will be done at the
stakeholders meeting after which the list will be submitted to the
Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
The Governor has decided to adopt this measure so that the choice of the
roads to be graded will be a collective decision and to avoid imposition
and the tendency of some leaders taking unilateral decision to satisfy
selfish interest.
The Governor mandates that this meeting should be caused to be
convened as soon as possible in the 17 local councils of the state.
