ANSG dredges Nise-Amawbia canal

Anambra State government has dredged the flood channels at Nise- Amawbia road to allow free flow of water.

Governor Willie Obiano, who visited the site, expressed satisfaction with the level of dredging done at the canal.

The Governor recalled that the flooding at the area had, last year, claimed the life of a girl who was coming back from church with her family.

He disclosed that his administration had awarded the road and would demolish the existing bridge to construct a new one that would stand the test of time.

The Project Manager handling the road, Mr. Enaini Jacob, confirmed that the state government had mobilised them, but would go into full construction of the road at the end of the rainy season.

He said they had dredged from Nise to Amawbia axis, as 2.5 meter had been dredged.

The Commissioner for Works, Mr. Marcel Ifejiofor, noted that the road when completed, would have every facility to promote commercial activities.
