BURNING OF TYRES ON THE ROAD IS UNACCEPTABLE IN AWKA- AWKA CAPITAL TERRITORY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (ACTDA) BOSS WARNS RESIDENT . (PHOTO).


 Burning of tyres on the road is unacceptable in Awka- Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) Boss warns resident 


The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) Dr. Ossy Onuko, has cautioned residents against burning tyres on newly constructed roads, warning that the practice damages asphalt and accelerates road deterioration.


Dr. Onuko gave the warning in Awka while receiving Ward Chairmen of Awka South Local Government Area who paid him a courtesy visit to celebrate the victory of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo in the recent gubernatorial election, where he emerged victorious in all 21 local government areas of Anambra State.


He described tyre burning on roads as “terrible and unacceptable,” stressing that ACTDA has banned the act and that offenders will face the full weight of the law. According to him, once tyres are burnt on asphalt, the road is permanently damaged.


Speaking on the Yuletide season, the ACTDA boss said Christmas signifies the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and as a predominantly Christian state, Anambra is deliberately creating an enabling and festive environment for residents and visitors.


 He said the ongoing infrastructural transformation of Awka including road construction, the Fun City project, the stadium and improved aesthetic appeal is aimed at giving visitors reason to relax, enjoy and return to the state.


However, he urged Awka residents to relax and enjoy the season describing Gov. Soludo as a visionary leader who has shown clear direction for the state development.
