Our reporter who was on the road noticed presence of machines and workers handling jobs.
When contacted for comments, the Commissioner for Works, Nick OparaNdudi disclosed that the ministry is working according to the reports of the Imo State House of Assembly.
According to OparaNdudi, the House report directed the Ministry of Works and office of the Attorney General to ensure that work resumes at the project site.
