Having seen the report especially from Iluagba to Isanlu, I knew the problem is beyond palliative measure but total construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;I have taken it upon myself to construct the 15 Kilometers from ILUAGBA to ISANLU starting from today. I have paid the contractors substantial deposit yesterday the 3\/11\/2021 to move to site and by end of today equipments will get to the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;It will take us approximately 50 days to complete the project because bulldozer has to first bulldoze all the road by scraping off completely the remaining little broken tarred portions and expand the road to Isanlu before real work will commence. By the time I finished, what will remain is just to lay asphalt on it which is the final stage and if the contractor didn\u2019t do their work as soon we are done doing ours, we shall complete the rest and take them to EFCC for taking money without project execution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The lawmaker also promised to consider other rural roads in his constituency before the expiration of his tenure.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"..\u00a0 Tired of the stories
