Students of Anambra State Polytechnic, as well as staff of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in the state might need to suffer longer than expected following delay in the ongoing reconstruction of Isuaniocha-Mgbakwu Road.
Residents of Isuaniocha and Mgbakwu in Awka North local government area of the state are not also left out in the agony as the same road stands as the only major access road leading to the area.
The road also connects several communities and institutions in the Area Council, including the Broadcasting House of the FRCN, Purity FM and the State owned Polytechnic.
The Nation investigations revealed that the road reconstruction which commenced over two years ago, have suffered several setbacks occasioned by continued rainfall in the area.
The hampering pace of work on the ongoing work may also not be unconnected to unavailability or delay in release of mobilization funds.
Residents and visitors to the area had longed to have heaved a sigh of relief in view of increased speed in the construction work, having suffered untold hardship over the deplorable condition of the road.

Unfortunately, their hopes appears to be dashed following recent developments on the project.
Speaking with the Nation, Director of the firm handling the project, Mr Luke Aniakor said efforts were on to ensure speedy completion of the road in record time despite challenges.
He appealed to residents of the area and other road users to exercise more patience, assuring that work would continue immediately the rains subsided to have way for speedy completion of the road.
He noted that about two out of the over 3kilometers road project expected to terminate at the State Polytechnic had already been completed.
He said, “The state government through the ministry of works, is fully monitoring and inspecting the level and quality of work being done on the road.
“There will not be any reason to compromise standards.”
Aniakor expressed confidence that the road, when completed, would not only stand the test of time but would also open up the agrarian communities in line with Governor Willie Obiano’s mandate of attracting development to the grassroots. tudents of Anambra State Polytechnic, as well as staff of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in the state might need to suffer longer than expected following delay in the ongoing reconstruction of Isuaniocha-Mgbakwu Road.
