Gov Ugwuanyi inaugurates reconstructed Enugu Miliken Hill road

There was wild jubilation in Enugu as Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi formally inaugurated the historic and undulating Miliken Hill road, Ngwo, reconstructed and modernised with street lights by his administration for the first time since it was constructed in 1909 during the colonial era.

The all-important 3-kilometer Miliken Hill section of the road, is part of the 12-kilometer 9th Mile – Ekochin-Ngwo-Miliken Hill – New Market federal road, recently rehabilited by the state government, as an alternative route for travellers plying the Enugu – Onitsha expressway.

Inaugurating the road amid excitement from residents of the state and road users, Gov. Ugwuanyi stated that the project is a “great infrastructural asset and rich heritage of our coal city state”.

Gov. Ugwuanyi also inaugurated other legacy projects in the rural areas such as the Ebonyi River Bridge in Ikem, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area and Obollo Eke – Agala – Okpaligbo road in Udenu LGA in keeping with his administration’s grassroots development initiatives.
