Imo residents has continue to raise alarm over the poor state condition of roads, particularly vehicle owners plying the popular Imo zoological Garden Nekedi, World Bank and MCC roads.

The residents are calling on the Governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma to address the deplorable roads, that has caused untold hardship to the people.

According to some resident who spoke to Dairly post on Tuesday, said the road is at the verge of tearing into two, and has caused them losses, preventing easy asses to other areas of Owerri and beyond.

A landlady in one of the streets linking the World bank road, Owerri West LGA, Imo State, Mrs Angela Nkwoapulu explained that the World Bank road leading to Umuguma is gradually being washed away by flood.

She added that the road, which has “deep potholes,” ‎has plunged vehicle owners into untold hardship.

”’Many residents are not happy about this road. As a result of its deep potholes residents have to trek long distances especially when it rains, as they can not go with their vehicles,” she said.

She noted that several attempts to call the attention of the state government to rescue the community have yielded no positive results.

A commercial bus driver, Mr Peter Debia while speaking to DAILY POST at Chukwuma Nwoha junction by MCC Owerri said all the features that qualified the area and Toronto junction down to Ekemoha junction as a tarred road had been washed away.

Debia said, “I am a daily user of this road, I carry passengers from Ekeonuwa market to Umuore running few trips every day. The condition of this particular Chukwuma Nwoha junction is very bad and dangerous.”

We are begging Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State to do something about this road as fast as he can, even though it was started by Gov Emeka Ihedioha’s short-lived administration.
