Engineer Egbuatu said that the road is twelve meter width , but they are targeting eight meters on all the failed portions for now so that it can be motorable before they compete the whole width. 

He appealed to road users to exercise patience since the road will be fixed in no distant time .

Some road users Messrs Emmanuel Nwankwo, Michael Chielo who regretted the hardship they endure on the road, prayed for abundant blessings upon the Governor and urged him not to relent as they are solidly behind him.
