He emphasized that Governor Mbah’s actions demonstrate his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the people, as the recently approved roads hold tremendous value for the community.
Chief Onuokaibe asserted that these roads will significantly boost the economic activities of the Mburubu people, who are known for their substantial agricultural investments. He noted that enhanced road infrastructure will facilitate the timely transportation of agricultural produce to markets, thereby promoting trade and reducing travel times for farmers and traders.
