Communities in the Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State have decried the deplorable state of the roads in the area which they said was causing them untold hardship.
The communities spoke with newsmen on Thursday, through a socio-cultural organization in Ngor Okpala, known as the Ngor Okpala Renaissance League, lamenting that the challenge had also created economic and educational problems for residents of the communities.
Leader of the organization, Ibe Nwoko, frowned at what he called dishonest political brigandage, lamenting that there is no motorable road to the local government headquarters at Umuneke.
Nwoko noted with disappointment that no meaningful road infrastructure has been constructed in Ngor Okpala since 1999 despite having a series of elected senators and other legislators who represented the area both at the federal and the state levels.
The group called on the Federal government to come to their aid as the state government has failed them, stressing that Ngor Okpala should be declared a disaster area.
