Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru has promised to pay compensation to all building owners affected following the ongoing road constructions in the State capital.
Governor Nwifuru through the Commissioner for Works and Transport Engr. Stanley Lebechi Mbam, disclosed this during an interaction with journalists in Abakaliki, following the ongoing demolition in various areas within the capital city including the popular Vanco junction.
According to the commissioner, the demolition was unavoidable due to the Governor’s commitment to construct durable roads in the state.
He then urged the affected persons to accept, support the plan for a new State capital stressing that the newly constructed internal roads would stand the test of time, considering the robust concrete technology applied during the construction.
“The compensation has been documented and the affected will receive their compensation soon”.
“We have been commissioning these projects in the past few weeks, and people can see that they have quality and are pleasing to the eye. So far, His Excellency has done wonderfully well through the ministry of works.” He said.
