Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration is truly out to reclaim Enugu’s lost masterplan, beautify the city with aesthetically-driven projects and decongest traffic gridlock being experienced in some strategic locations in the state capital, for the safety, security and convenience of residents, in line with the state government’s urban renewal drive as well as its concerted efforts to reduce crime and contain the menance of street trading with its associated dangers.

In this regard, Gov. Ugwuanyi, today, inspected some ongoing projects in Enugu metropolis, being executed by the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA), such as the installation pedestrian safety mesh panel from No.1 Ogui Road by Young Shall Grow Transport, to Chris Chemist by Zenith Bank along Ogbete Main Market, Enugu and construction of West Road 8, Trans Ekulu, Enugu to link Nnamdi Azikiwe Road and Corporation Boulevard, including the installation of safety mesh panel and expansion of the popular Dhamija road.

The pedestrian mesh panel installation was also introduced at Savage Crescent by Polo Shopping Mall, GRA, Enugu. The mesh panel is being installed at Kenyatta Market and along Kenyatta Street from Amawbia junction to Bishop Aniogwu junction. The said Kenyatta road is being dualized with the construction of a modern vehicle park. Pedestrian bridges are being constructed at Ogbete Main Market, Enugu and Mayor Bustop, Agbani Road.

The state government, through ECTDA, is equally constructing Hawkers Market with toilets and tricyle park at ESBS junction, Independence Layout, Enugu, to relocate and accommodate the business interests of the street traders and tricycle operators there.

The whole essence is to safeguard and enhance the wellbeing of residents of the state as well as restore the coal city to its original masterplan for socio-economic advancement.

Enugu State is in the hands of God!##
