Leaders of Ndigbo across Nigeria and in the diaspora have expressed displeasure and discontentment over the dilapidated and poor condition of key federal roads and other infrastructure in the igbo region of the country.
They saw as heart-breaking the situation on ground concerning the highways and other federal infrastructure in the entire South East zone.
Bemoaning the appalling benefit of having Senator Ayogu Eze as chairman Senate Committee on Works, they observed that one cannot travel from Enugu to Onitsha, from Enugu to Port-Harcourt or from Onitsha to Nsukka with ease, as the roads have been so neglected and hence become death traps, even when her sons/daughters are in positions to make the necessary difference.
In his paper presentation during the one-day wake-up call forum in Awka yesterday organized by the Igbo World
Assembly(IWA), under theme Ndigbo in 21st Century Nigeria:Achieving Sustainable Security For Ndigbo In Nigeria??, the forum provided veritable platform for participants to realize that it was time Ndigbo pursued a common front to pursue so as to realize the overall objective of pride of place in the nation?s polity.
President-General Umuada-Igbo Nigeria and Diaspora, Lolo Kate Ezeofor, in her lecture on ?? Ndigbo: A Great Nation??, observed that President GoodLuck Jonathan has given the best to Ndigbo and therefore urged Ndigbo to support his re-election bid in 2015.
