Abia Blames Contractor For Delay On Umuahia Road

Abia State Commissioner for Information, Okiyi Kalu, has exonerated Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of any blame in the delayed completion of Aba Road, one of the urban roads in Umuahia.

Kalu said rather than the governor, the contractor handling the project should be blamed for the slow pace of work.

According to Kalu, the contractor had been fully paid by the state governmenΒ to mobilise to site and complete the project.

Kalu told Daily Sun, yesterday, that the slow pace of work on the dual-carriage three-kilometre road might not be unconnected with the heavy rains.
