Rochas to Light Up Owerri Municipal Roads

The state government has disclosed plans to install street light in all the roads of Owerri capital city.
The state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha who stated this during a
breakfast meeting with members of Dozie Owerri Association, a
socio-cultural organization at the government house Owerri, said that the step is part of his administration’s resolve to make the state capital the crystal city of Nigeria.
He further disclosed government determination to make Owerri capital
city roads pot-hole free befitting of a capital city.
The governor frowned at a situation where some politicians take
advantage of socio-cultural organizations to pursue their selfish
ambition at the detriment of the common interest of the people.
Governor Okorocha, however, approved allocation of a piece of land for the
construction of the organization’s secretariat in Owerri city.
Speaking earlier on behalf of the association, the Chairman, Sir Lucky
Njoku said, they were at the government house to express their
solidarity and appreciation to the governor for the on-going transformation
of the state.
He said Dozie Owerri is a melting point of opinions, made up of people
from all works of life from Owerri federal constituency with branches
in UK, USA and all over Nigeria.
While thanking the governor for appointing sons and daughters of the
constituency in his cabinet, Njoku appealed to him to construct more roads
to link up the LGAs of Owerri federal constituency
