Men of the fire service arrived the scene just in time, around 8: 48 after they were notified of the incident and were able to put out the fire. Authorities suspect a split unit air-conditioner to be the cause of the out break.

The Despicable State Of Some Rural Roads In Imo State!

This is believed to be the state of some roads in Imo state, South Eastern Nigeria. This is coming after the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha stated in an interview with the Sun Newspaper, published on-line on 20th September, that construction of rural roads remain the focus of his administration. 




Part of the interview Below: 

Interview Qs: "Your excellency, concerning the rural roads you mentioned, I happen to come from Orogwe in Owerri West here and our own road, for example is among roads that were said to be tarred. Right now, as we speak it’s not pliable as the contractor was only able to work from Irete to somewhere around Ndegwu. I also know that the road leading to Old Nekede has collapsed. What do you have to say about that?


Gov. Okorocha: Okay, let me explain that. The Orogwe road we are talking about, I don’t know why it is still like that . Some of these rural roads, I don’t know, but I am happy to say that some of them have been done. Let me tell you, I did not say we have overhauled all roads. This will be coming in the second phase of the pro­gramme for rural roads, but at least you have admitted that some of them have been done. The Nekede project is a Federal Government project just like the Port Harcourt road and people keep screaming that I should do some­thing. What can you do when the contract has been awarded to a national contractor, Arab Contractors, who has abandoned the project for lack of payment by the Federal Government? Now, the same thing is applicable to Nekede road. That of Nekede was awarded at about N6 billion and to do the erosion control, but I couldn’t have waited for the Federal Govern­ment. Right now, as I am talking to you, work is going on there to at least make it passable for people. So, this government is very responsive. Our rural roads are still our focus but we have not finished work on all of them. We are not saying that we have overhauled or constructed all rural roads in Imo State, but some have been overhauled or constructed".

Please why is it that when it's time to construct or re-construct a major road, the issue of under 'whose domain' it fall comes to play, but when it comes to getting votes or taxes from these areas, they will be regarded as citizens of the state?
