This was confirmed during an oversight visit to the project site by the Chairman of the House Committee on Works and Infrastructure, Engineer Emma Nwafor, along with other members of the committee.
Engineer Nwafor, who represents Orumba South Constituency, emphasized the significance of the road in reducing traffic congestion and improving connectivity between communities within the state and neighboring states, thus facilitating trade, movement, and communication.

Governor Soludo was also commended by Engineer Nwafor for his unwavering commitment to enhancing the state’s road network. He pointed out that the governor’s focus on infrastructure development is already yielding positive results, evident in the improved road conditions and ongoing projects across Anambra.
During the oversight visit, the committee also inspected the Overpass Flyover at Aroma Junction in Awka, a project designed to ease traffic flow in the state capital. It was noted that the completion of the flyover would significantly reduce travel time and enhance safety for commuters, further emphasizing the government’s dedication to improving transportation infrastructure.
In addition to the flyover, the committee members visited the Awka Dump Site to assess the progress of the ongoing project. They were amazed at the level of work and the quality of the project, further cementing the state government’s commitment to ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for its residents.

With these initiatives, the state is poised for continued growth and development.
