Residents of Aba, Abia state’s commercial hub have called on Gov. Okezie Ikpezu to cause Abia State Road Management Agency (ABROMA) to resume road maintenance in Aba to reduce gridlocks.
The residents made the call in separate interviews with our reporter in Aba on Tuesday.
They said that incessant rainfall was increasing the number of potholes on roads in the city adding that ABROMA’s absence from Aba was worsening the matter.
Hope Efiong, a resident said that the gridlocks which had been gripping the city from Osisioma Expressway junction to Aba Main Motor Park were caused by potholes on the roads.
He called on Gov. Ikpezu to ask ABROMA to return to Aba and start fixing the potholes on the roads to ease the stress road users from Abia and other states face on Aba roads now.
Effiong said that since 2017 ABROMA has not been seen at work in Aba adding that their resumption would help to bring relief to road users in Aba.
Onweremmadu Nwoke said that the on-going construction work on Faulks road and other adjoining roads in Aba had caused road users to resort to using few motorable roads in the city.
Nwoke said the effect of the rain on roads had resulted in increased and enlarged potholes on Aba roads which were causing avoidable gridlocks.
Nwoke said that the gridlocks consume many man hours hence urgent attention was required by ABROMA to fix the roads.
He urged the governor to ensure he returned the agency to work on Aba roads to ease the suffering of the people in the city stressing that whenever Ikpeazu brings them, the roads get better.
Nnanna Egwu praised Ikpeazu for his determination to improve the condition of Aba and begged him to urge ABROMA to return to work in Aba.
He noted that since the governor meant well with his road rehabilitation programme in Aba, it would be counter-productive for him to allow the traffic condition resulting from the projects to continue.
