Sir,
DEPLORABLE STATE OF ROADS IN SOUTH-EAST NIGERIA
It is with deep sense of urgency that I write to you regarding the deplorable state of some roads in south-east Nigeria. These roads include; Enugu-PortHarcourt expressway, Akokwa-Uga expressway and Old Umuahia road.
These roads are all strategic to sustainable of trade between south -east Nigeria and other regions of the country. The continuous neglect of these roads have led to a great downturn in the economy of south- east Nigeria.
Secondly, the poor state of these roads have hindered direct foreign investment in south- east Nigeria. Many potential investors do not bring their investments to this region of the country for fear of failure of the business due to poor state of access roads in the region.
Lastly, lack of access roads in this region have greatly enhanced capital flight out of the region. This in turn have fueled unemployment and consequent youth restiveness which currently threatens the peace of this region of the country.
I plead with you sir, to consider us in this region and quickly see to the initiation and completion of maintenance work on these affected express roads that link south- east Nigeria to other regions of the country.
Thanks in anticipation of our positive response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jude Njoku
