MTN Reiterates Commitment to Enugu-Onitsha Expressway Rehabilitation

The Enugu-Onitsha Ex­pressway is a vital link con­necting major economic hubs in the southeastern region of Nigeria.

The express way through the Public-Private Partner­ship signed with the Federal Government of Nigeria, the technology company began the completion of the recon­struction of the 110km road in the Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (RITC).

The company partnered with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) under supervi­sion of the Federal Ministry of Works in Awka and Enugu, to temporarily open the Amawbia, Anambra State and 9th Mile, Enugu sections of the partially completed Enu­gu-Onitsha Dual Carriage Way.

This temporary opening is as a result of the festivities, to ensure smoother journeys and accident-free holidays for road users.

Ochinga Ameh, Assistant Corp Mashal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Enugu Zone 9, who made the disclosure to newsmen, said: “this is the period we witness the highest vehicular movement over the years. The end of the year is typically characterised with an increase in road traffic volume which leads to fatal accidents.

“As the lead agency in road traffic advocation and safety management, it is our man­date to provide effective road management strategies, en­suring hitch-free movement, and reduction of road traffic crimes.

“In a bid to actualise this ob­jective, the Corp has mobilised human and material resourc­es, in partnership with other stakeholders to ensure safety and free flow of traffic along the highway and other roads in both cities.”

Chinenye Moneke, account partner, Enterprise Business, MTN Nigeria, noted that, “MTN’s commit­ment to the completion of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is a part of our shared value initiative, the deep-rooted be­lief in the importance of sus­tainable development and our commitment to the well-being of the communities we serve.

“This reconstruction im­pacts all road users. We are grateful to the host commu­nities, and the government of Enugu and Anambra states. I can assure you that within the stipulated time frame, this road will be completed.”
