| Amawabia road axis |
By Uche Nworah
Ndi Anambra have continued to praise His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano over the ongoing Light Up Anambra street lights project.
It
will be recalled that Governor Obiano switched on the street lights on
the Amawbia to Enugwu-Ukwu stretch last Thursday amidst shouts of joy by
residents living on that axis. The street lights which are continuing
to Onitsha will be switched on at a future date.
Street lights on other axis including Eke Awka, Amenyi Awka to Finotel Hotel junction are also live.

IK Nkwoji, a native of Enugwu-Ukwu said that the street lights are a
big plus to the zero armed robbery and kidnapping status that Anambra
state currently enjoys.
Some
motorists who spoke to the ABS said that cruising along the stretch
feels like a cruise along the Lekki-Epe Expressway or any other
expressway in Abuja with the bright street lights and smooth roads.

Okonkwo, a native of Amawbia said that the street lights will
accelerate Anambra State's move towards becoming a 24/7 economy as shop
owners and other businesses can now stay open longer hours.
He
praised the Govenror, Chief Willie Obiano (Akpokuodike) and the state
Commissioner for Public Utilities, Mr. Obi Nwankwo and their team for
good quality job done so far but advised that the state government
should ensure that a monitoring and maintenance team be quickly put in
place to ensure that light bulbs are changed when required and other
repairs carried out promptly.
In
a related development, the state Commissioner for Public Utilities, Mr
Obi Nwankwo has asked Ndi Anambra to protect the cables and other
infrastructure used in powering the ongoing street light projects in the
state. He called on Traditional rulers, community leaders, Presidents
General of the various communities, the youth and the vigilante services
to be on the lookout for vandals who may attempt to steal the cables
and damage the infrastructure.
