President, Professor, Yemi Osinbajo, weekend, insisted that the
worst problem plaguing people of the South-East geopolitical zone, was
the failed road networks, saying the situation required urgent Federal
Government attention.
Prof. Osinbajo noted that despite government financial constraints at
the moment, there was need to improve on the roads in the region where
commerce was the mainstay of the people.
While fielding questions from journalists in Enugu, where he attended
a wedding at the Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherd, Anglican
Communion, the Vice President disclosed that he had discussed the issue
with Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, noting that the problem
was not unknown to the Federal Government.
According to him: “One problem that the people of the South-East have
is roads. You know what our financial constraints are, and there is a
need for improvement on roads where there is a lot of commerce and
movement of people. There is need to raise the value of naira by
discouraging importation of some items so that the economy will
improve.”
In a homily at the church, Arch. Bishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical
Province, Anglican Communion, His Grace, Emmanuel Chukwuma, appealed to
the Federal Government to create employment for the teeming unemployed
youths in the country,wallowing in poverty.
