The Executive Chairman of Awgu Local Government Area, Hon. Uchenna Joseph Okolo, has unveiled plans to commence a landmark 1-kilometer asphalt road project in each of the eleven wards of the local government.

The announcement, made through his Special Adviser on General Media and Publicity, Hon. Tochukwu Chukwu, underscores the council’s deliberate strategy to transform access roads, particularly those leading to the newly established Smart Green Schools across Awgu LGA.

According to Hon. Okolo, the road projects will commence immediately from Ugwueme Road, while others will follow in the coming days. He emphasized that the administration is seizing the advantage of the current break in the rains to accelerate delivery.

“This initiative is not just about roads; it is about connecting our people to opportunities, education, and economic growth. We are determined to complement the visionary agenda of our dear Governor, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, whose leadership has redefined grassroots development and inclusive governance in Enugu State,” Hon. Okolo stated.

The Chairman further explained that the road infrastructure, when completed, will significantly boost rural transportation, ease movement of agricultural produce, and enhance community access to world-class education.

Hon. Okolo described the project as a direct demonstration of his administration’s commitment to inclusive development, noting that it aligns with Governor Mbah’s vision of sustainable governance that prioritizes both rural and urban communities.

He reassured Ndi Awgu of his government’s dedication to people-centered leadership, stressing that these projects will strengthen local economies, promote social development, and improve living standards across all Communities.

“We are building on Governor Mbah’s legacy of purposeful governance. Awgu LGA will remain a proud partner in driving forward his vision of an Enugu State where no community is left behind,” Hon. Okolo affirmed.
