The Government of Anambra State has affirmed that the deplorable conditions of federal roads in the state has become its major concern as the government cannot continue to fold its arms and allow the citizens to suffer as a result of poor condition of the roads.

The Commissioner for Works, Engineer Ifeanyi Okoma stated this while disclosing the reason behind the various intervention works going on in many federal roads in the state.

According to Engineer Okoma, government of Anambra state has written severally and alerted the federal government on the condition of federal roads in the state but has not received or seen any reaction, and instead of exposing Anambra road users to danger, decided to be carrying out palliative works on the roads.

Speaking further,Engineer Okoma said that entrance into the state from Enugu state was in a very bad state , until the Governor mandated his ministry to fix it, expressing happiness that the Gariki axis of Amansea through Amansea-Awka old road, Agu Awka junction by Eze-Uzu as well as Amawbia under Flyover are now very motorable.

The commissioner also disclosed that the Minister of Works will soon visit to Anambra state to see and fully intervene in the state of Oba and Ozubulu Onitsha -Owerri road, where Anambra state government is already intervening but cannot fund full reconstruction of the road because of the huge money involved.
