The flag-off of the construction of Ntigha-Nbawsi-Umuala Road, connecting nine communities in Nsulu nation, marks a significant milestone in Governor Alex Otti’s administration.
This strategic road traverses Umuomaiukwu, Umuezegu, Umunkpeyi, Umuomainta, Nbawsi main town, Umulemoha, Umulenwa, Umunkolo, and Umuala, opening up Nsulu land to unprecedented economic and social growth.
The construction of this road is a testament to Governor Otti’s commitment to inclusive development, addressing the needs of marginalized communities.
By extending road infrastructure to Nsulu Clan, Otti’s administration promotes equity and fairness, fostering a sense of belonging among citizens. This project will have far-reaching impacts on the economic, social, and political landscape of Nsulu Clan.
Economically, the road will boost trade and commerce, creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive. With improved accessibility, farmers can easily transport their produce to markets, increasing their income and contributing to the state’s economic development.
The road will also attract investors, stimulating economic growth and job creation. As the road network expands, Nsulu Clan will become a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, contributory to Abia State’s economic progress.
Socially, the Ntigha-Nbawsi-Umuala Road will transform the lives of Nsulu residents, ensuring easier access to healthcare, education, and social services. This infrastructure will reconnect families and friends, strengthening social bonds and community ties. Improved road connectivity will also enhance the overall quality of life, reducing travel times and increasing opportunities for social interaction.
Governor Otti’s Caterpillar Revolution demonstrates his administration’s dedication to transforming Abia State. With 135 roads fixed and 30 ongoing projects across the three senatorial districts, Otti’s vision for a New Abia is becoming a reality. The successful conduct of local government elections, regular payment of salaries and pensions, and deepened democracy at the grassroots level are testaments to his commitment to good governance.
The people of Nsulu Clan, under the banner of Oha Nsulu Unity Forum (ONUF), a socio-cultural and non-political organisation of all Nsulu sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora, has expressed deep gratitude to Governor Otti for this landmark project, acknowledging the impact it will have in the Ancient Nsulu Clan.
However, they are also appealing to Governor Otti to address other pressing infrastructure needs, including dilapidated roads and revenue-generating ventures. Specifically, they request attention to the Nbawsi – Eziala – Osusu – Okpuala Ngwa Road, Umuala – Umuakwu – Ohuhu Nsulu Road, Gully erosion-ravaged Okpulo Ukwu Umuosu – Nbawsi Road, and Completion of the Umuezenta – Umuezeukwu – Ikputu Road.
Additionally, revitalizing revenue-generating ventures such as the NSULU GAMES VILLAGE, Umuala ABIA PALM, Nbawsi, and The POULTRY CLUSTER, Umuosu, will create job opportunities for youth and stimulate economic growth.
By addressing these concerns, Governor Otti’s administration will further demonstrate its dedication to the welfare and development of Nsulu Clan, solidifying its position as a beacon of progress in Abia State. As Nsulu Clan continues to grow and develop, its people will remain grateful for Governor Otti’s visionary leadership and commitment to transforming their community.
