Emohua Local Government Chairman Dr Chidi Lloyd has approved the construction and renaming of Oriaja Road in Mgbuetor Community in Emohua.
The council chairman announced the approval when he embarked on an unscheduled visit to Oriaja Road in Mgbuetor Community on Wednesday.
Dr Lloyd who inspected the Oriaja Road in company of Stakeholders and Elders of Mgbuetor Community directed the Supervisor of Works and the Director of Works of the Local Government to immediately work out the modalities for the construction of the road.
He also directed that the name of the road be changed from ‘Oriaja Road’ to ‘School Road’ ; the new name he said must be reflected in the proposal for the construction of the road.
Stakeholders of Mgbuetor Community thanked the council chairman first of all for the choice of their son, Chief Vincent Chukwu as the secretary of the council and the approval for the construction of the former Oriaja Road, recalling how Dr Lloyd also facilitated the construction of a section of the community road when he represented Emohua Constituency in the State Assembly.
Meanwhile, Emohua Local Government Chairman has promised to initiate some intervention projects in Eli-Israel; a coastal community in Rumuche – Emohua to improve the living standard of the people in the community.
Dr Chidi Lloyd made the promise during his visit to Eli-Israel on Wednesday where he also attended a mid-week church service organised by the Ladder To Heaven Bible Church which has its Headquarters in the Island.
He urged residents of the coastal community which hosts two electoral polling units in Rumuche (ward 4), Emohua LGA to take advantage of the ongoing continous voters registration exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commision (INEC) to increase the number of registered voters in the island with a view to increasing the political strength of the coastal community in ward 4, in order to attract Government presence to the Island.
The council chairman who was recieved and conducted round the island by Leaders of Eli-Israel frowned at the lack of basic amenities in the coastal community and immediately promised to provide a conducive learning environment at the community school which is currently in a deplorable condition.
Dr Lloyd also directed the Local Government works department and the Supervisor of Works to conduct a joint assessment of the access road to Eli-Israel to establish the cost implication for the construction of the road.
The council chairman further promised to support the centenary celebration of the Ladder To Heaven Bible Church which was supposed to hold in 2020 and directed the leadership of the church to liaise with the secretary of the Local Government to work out modalities for the celebration.
Also on Wednesday, Dr Chidi Lloyd defied the rain to inspect the ongoing construction work at Ukeli Road in Rundele after a brief stopover at Eveku Road project.
Eveku and Ukeli road projects are among the three road projects being executed simultaneously by the administration of Dr Chidi Lloyd in Emohua Local Government Area.
The council chairman expressed satisfaction with the pace of work at the project sites and charged the supervisor of works to ensure that all the projects are executed in line with their specifications.
Dr Lloyd and his entourage also made a quick stopover at the Divisional Police Headquarters in Rumuji, where the council Chairman directed the Supervisor for Works to immediately fix the section of the fence that had broken down.
He also directed the Local Government Committee on Physical Planning and Development Control to demolish all illegal structures around the Divisional Police Headquarters.
