The Abia State House of Assembly has passed a resolution urging Governor Alex Otti to seek Federal government’s intervention on the Umuahia-Bende-Ohafia- Arochukwu federal road.
The House also stressed that the abandoned colonial bridge across Igu River at Ozu Abam in Arochukwu Local Government Area should be given urgent attention as well.

It urged the governor to rehabilitate the Ozu Abam-Ndi Okereke-Arochukwu road and other link roads in Arochukwu constituency to save them from total collapse. Announcing the resolutions during a recent plenary, Speaker of the House, Emmanuel Emeruwa, appealed to the Senator representing Abia North, Senato Orji Uzor Kalu partner Otti on the aforementioned roads.
The resolutions followed a motion on matter of urgent public importance raised by the member representing Arochukwu State constituency and the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Uchenna Okoro.

Addressing the House on the matter, Hon. Okoro had bemoaned the deplorable conditions of the roads and the bridge, adding that they have become all-year- round death traps. Hon. Okoro pointed out that the situation is affecting the economy of the agrarian constituency, noting that addressing them would give the people a sense of belonging.
