Eze Udenkwo who is also the Chairman, Nkwerre/Nwangele/ Njaba/Isu federal constituency Council of Traditional Rulers made the appeal in an interview with our reporter on the occasion of the maiden convocation ceremony of the first private university in Imo State, Hezekiah University, Ishiala Umudi held last Saturday at the University Pavilion.
He pleaded to the governor not to allow the road construction to stop half way, stressing that he fought relentlessly to make the road motorable.
The royal father who is the MD/CEO of Udekings Electronics and Furnishings Ltd pointed out that if the road is not completed between now and ending of April when rains will come, the road will be impassable.
He thanked the governor, Sen Uzodinma for awarding the contract to reconstruct the only access road leading to the university and also pleaded with him to ensure that the contract is successfully completed, noting that it will help in enhancing the growth and general development of the institution and the communities around.

He expressed dismay that other past administrations in the state disappointed the community and urged Governor Uzodinma not to disappoint them.
The royal father thanked the governor for coming to grace the occasion and for the support he gave the university, stressing that the location of the institution at Ishiala Umudi has brought more socio-economic benefits and development to the area and in addition to the development of the community through investment by the sons and daughters of the area.
