Dr. Ifowodo gave the assurance after inspecting the project,
while stressing the importance of the project, he promised the Ugborodo people
that, works will resume as soon as funds are made available to the commission
on projects.
While commending the community for the cooperation given to the
contractor handling the project, earlier, Ifowodo and his team of engineers has
trekked half a kilometer to assess the project.
“our mission is to confirm the extent and quality of work done
so far on lots 1 and 2 of the 9-lot project, in order to approve the valuation
report for payment of pending funds to the contractor and also, I am aware that
ugborodo elders have pleaded that the next phase of work should begin right
from the ancestral spot that is washing away to save the newly built homes. This
would mean skipping lots 3-5 to resume work on lots 6 and 7, since the
contractor’s representative said it can be done without any problem, we will
work it. I also want to thank the community leaders for being peaceful and I am
appealing to them to continue in that admirable manner”, he noted.
