EBSU students appreciate Gov. Umahi over construction of road leading to the Institution

The students of Ebonyi State University, on Thursday, applauded Governor David Nweze Umahi over the construction of the road leading to the institution on the concrete pavement.

The students appreciated Governor Umahi for the quality of work being done on the road.

In a statement on Thursday, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Francis Nwaze said it is the major road linking Abakaliki-Ishieke-Enugu old road.

According to him, “It was hitherto a death trap to users and a heartache to students plying it as it was filled with potholes.”

“Recall that Governor David Umahi had a few months ago, during his campaign for the second tenure promised to construct the road to the standard that will make it to last beyond 50 years.”

“Truth is, his promise was never to make it a double lane but as the construction goes on, the entire people of the affected communities were thrown into surprise as they discovered that the road is not just made with 8 inches concrete pavement but also dualized thereby, making way for free movement of the road users.”

“The most affected people on this development apart from the Ishieke community are the Ebonyi State University students who access their main campus, market and residence through the road.”

“Some students during our visit to the construction site appreciated and thanked Gov. Umahi for the quality of work being done on the road.”

“Indeed, we are proud to say that we have a brand new Ebonyi State.”
