Imo State House of Assembly (IMHA) has pushed for remedial works to be done on the worsening condition of Ngor-Okpala/Aboh-Mbaise/Ezinihitte-Mbaise/Ahiazu-Mbaise/Ehime-Mbano roads by urging the Governor Hope Uzodimma to direct the Ministry of Works to immediately commence palliative rehabilitation on them before the Rainy Season set – in.
This was the outcome of the Motion chiefly sponsored by the member representing Ezinihitte Mbaise State Constituency, Hon. Henry Agbasonu, seconded by Hon. Bernard Ozoemelam, with; Hon Ugochukwu Amuchie, member representing Aboh-Mbaise, Hon. Obinna Egu, member representing Ngor-Okpalla State Constituency, Hon. Bernard Ozoemelam, member representing Ehime-Mbano State Constituency, Hon. Clinton Amadi, member representing Owerri Municipal State Constituency, and Hon Kelechi Ofurum, member representing Owerri -North State Constituency as co-sponsors.
Presenting the Motion, Hon. Agbasonu lamented the deplorable condition of the Road, which cuts across five Local Government Areas of the State.
According to him, commercial activities had been stalled in these Areas since past Administrations in the State, thereby destroying the Local Economy of the Areas.
He pointed out that users of the Road are always in agony, especially whenever it rains.
“If it rains any moment from now, the Road would be totally impassable and will cause a lot of hardship to the people of the Local Government Areas mentioned.”
Hon Agbasonu stated, and called on his Colleagues to support the Motion, urging that palliative work be done on the Road to lessen the suffering of the people, pending when major reconstruction would be done.
Other Lawmakers including; Hon. Chisom Ojukwu, Hon. Obinna Egu, Hon. Ugochukwu Amuchie, Hon. Bernard Ozoemelam, Hon. Clinton Amadi and Hon. James Uba Esile, got the chance and spoke in favor of the Motion before the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Chike Olemgbe ruled in the affirmative vote of majority of the Lawmakers, and directed the Clerk to communicate the resolution of the House to His Excellency the Governor of Imo State.
Meanwhile, after receiving the Report of the Committee on Education for “A Bill for a Law to provide for Skill Acquisition and Craftsmanship as Mandatory Course in all Primary Schools and Secondary Schools, and for the Establishment of Skill Acquisition And Craftsmanship Centre in Tertiary Institutions in Imo State and other related matters”, the Speaker ruled that it would be considered in the Committee of the whole House when the House resumes Plenary on February 29, 2024.
However, the House sitting featured the presence of the Students of two Secondary Schools in the State; Faith-House Leadership Academy in Okigwe Road Owerri, and Logos International Secondary School in Oru-East, who came on Excursion to observe Plenary proceedings.
The Students were also taken round the Complex at the end of the sitting.
