APGA Hits Ikpeazu On Using Mushroom Contractors

The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA has come hard on Governor Okezie Ikpeazu on using mushroom companies in the handling of road projects in Abia State.

The All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, gave the rebuke in a statement as it also chided the governor over the delay in the completion of the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Road, Aba.

A statement issued by the State Chairman, Rev. Augustine Ehiemere, however, commended the governor over the completion of the rehabilitation of some roads in Aba.

The party nevertheless observed that Port-Harcourt Road rehabilitation has been unnecessarily delayed causing unease for the people.

“Governor Ikpeazu would be celebrated if he can break the jinx of not engaging Grade A companies like Julius Berger to build roads in Abia. Abia is a wealthy state and can afford to hire Julius Berger than these mushroom companies carrying shovels and head pans and using bowls to pour coal tar on the road,” APGA said of Ikpeazu on using mushroom contractors in handling major jobs in the state.

“Need we remind Governor Okezie Ikpeazu that Port Harcourt road, due to the nature of businesses its hosts, generates the highest revenue in Aba? Perhaps, the Governor doesn’t know or is yet to realize the importance of Port Harcourt road to the economy of the state.

“Port Harcourt road is the hub of fabrication tools and heavy-duty machinery that serves the construction industry in the South East and South-South zones. Such a road ought not to be abandoned especially when people’s houses and business premises were demolished without compensation. Residents of Port Harcourt road have suffered for too long.

“Governor Ikpeazu should make haste to complete the rehabilitation of Port Harcourt road to enliven lives and businesses which have gone moribund in the area. We also seize this opportunity to appeal to the Governor to engage reputable construction companies to build roads in the state.
