An appeal has gone to the members of the National Assembly and the Federal Government to embark on immediate palliative road rehabilitation on the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Akara road to reduce the hardship encountered by the road users.
Some traders of the Ubani Market- Mr. Emezie Irolewe, Mrs. Alozie Ifeanyi, Mrs. Uzochukwu Serah and several others who lamented on the poor condition of the road, expressed bitterness on the deplorable condition of the road, stressing that their customers from Umuahia axis no longer find it easy to transact businesses with them which has led to heavy loss on business.
