Umu-Aba Connect Group, has reached out to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to rehabilitate urban and rural roads in Aba, saying that continuous neglect of infrastructure by successive Governments has brought untold hardship on citizens and businesses operating in the city.
The Publicity secretary of the Group, Ugochukwu Okpara, in a statement, said that Aba is gradually declining noting that “with huge amounts of waste dumped inside drainages and on walk-ways across the previously prosperous city, we are concerned that the situation may get worsened.”
The group said that its members have received several calls from Aba residents, who were overwhelmed “our association with complaints and these complaints are tended to bring to attention these burning issues which the government seemingly have neglected.

“It is therefore in our position to embark on independent investigation, to verify and to make our findings open and public”.
The statement explained the group overwhelmingly supported the incumbent governor in the last election because of assurances that dilapidating roads and decaying infrastructure would be revived and Aba restored to its former glorious position, especially since the incumbent Governor is from Aba.
“We are calling on his excellency the Governor to immediately look into these issues concerning bad roads and incessant dumping of refuse all over the state,”Group said.
