After years of abandonment, work is set to begin on the abandoned and forgotten Otuocha-Nzam-Innoma-Iheaka-Abaji federal road linking Anambra with Kogi State after many years it was awarded.
The 30-kilometre Otuocha-Nzam-Inoma-Iheaka-Abaji Road was awarded on December 3, 2009, by the administration of then president, Umaru Musa Yar’adua, to NigerCat Construction Limited. The company was able to achieve first binder asphalting of 7 kilometres out of the 30 kilometers road before the project stopped. Also, due to the dam flushing in Cameroon in 2017, the entire area surrounding the project was flooded and the road was submerged.
Nwoye, as a member representing Anambra East and Anambra West in the House of Representatives in the eighth National Assembly had made a passionate appeal for the road to be included in the national budget for reconstruction and rehabilitation. He wrote several letters to the Ministry of Works under Raji Fashola over the state of this road. Following his election as senator representing of Anambra North in the 10th National Assembly, he reactivated this demand for the reconstruction of the road.
