Carnival in Aba as Tinubu commissions reconstructed Port Harcourt Road

By Lucy Omakpo

The commercial city of Aba was transformed into a huge carnival scene when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissioned the 6.7km Port Harcourt Road, reconstructed by the leading engineering construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC.

Amidst sonorous singing and dancing, there were displays by masquerades and DJs. Women and youth groups were not left out, as each competed for available spaces

Amidst the horde of joyful residents that thronged the entire length of the road, President Tinubu, who was represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi described the completed road project as a miracle delivered by the state government through Julius Berger.

The President commended Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, for the quality of work executed as well as his commitment to infrastructural renewal across the State. On the reconstructed road, Tinubu said the government and contractor’s efforts have led to the “miracle of transformation” being witnessed in not only Aba, but also the entire state.

He also commended the Governor for his commitment to infrastructural development in the state, adding that, “the president directed me that any governor who wants to do any federal road, I must approve within 24 hours. And, Governor, I am handing over the Umuahia–Ikot Ekpene Road to you. You must do it,” Umahi declared.
