By Babatunde Aremu
Senator representing Abia North senatorial district, Senator Orji Uzor kalu has again presented his scorecards and updates on infrastructural developments in Abia North senatorial district.
In a chat with Newsmen , the Chairman senate committee on Privatization and North East Development commission reaffirmed his commitment to transparency, accountability and infrastructure development of Abia North senatorial district.
He pointed out:
“The comparisons on the roads I attract in my constituency, Abia North Senatorial Zone with federal roads and state roads need to stop. I am sure a lot of these comparisons are borne out of ignorance. For instance, Nigeria roads are divided into grade A, B, C, D and E roads.
A lot of my constituents do not understand how I am able to build several roads in my constituency; a feat that is definitely not easy considering the scarce resources. Some federal roads (Grade A) gets allocation between N3 Billion to N6 Billion for one kilometer same as some State roads( Grade B ) Meanwhile the roads I attract to my constituency goes as low as N200 Million to N250 million for a kilometer. I have to appeal and force the contractors to go as far as asphalting the roads even at that cost. We should be realistic in our comparisons and also be thankful to the president for providing every necessary support in providing social amenities in our constituency” .
