Collaborating with the federal government and the Navy to dredge the Oguta/Orashi River and linking it to the Atlantic Ocean is a milestone which will create jobs, boost economy of the area, Imo State and the country at large. Criminality will also be a thing of the past at the axis.
“I also eulogize the federal government for the effort. APC led government is practically exemplifying democracy and good governance”, said Arodiogbu.
Also, he commended President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, for approving to partner with the Imo State government in funding the dredging of Oguta/Orashi River project. “Hence, I urge all indigenes of Imo State to be part of the event which is going to be historic and a milestone”.
