In a demonstration of his humanity and responsiveness to the plight of the people, Sir Paul Chukwuma, the candidate of the Young Progressives Party – YPP in the November 8, Anambra governorship election, has commenced palliative work on the Otuocha-Anyamelum road, which has been abandoned and consequently out of use by motorists for years now.
The road, a major connecting route from Otuocha to Anyamelum, is also an important road that facilitates the ease of transportation of agricultural produce from the farmlands to markets within Anambra State and beyond.
The Otuocha-Anyamelum road is also an important access road for businessmen as it connects Onitsha from Anyamelum and environs, as well as the northern parts of Enugu.
Chukwuma had during his campaign rally in Anyamelum LGA few weeks ago, assured the people of the area that he would prioritize the reconstruction of the only access road to the LGA and would also support the council to realize its maximum agro potentials.
The palliative work on the Otuocha-Anyamelum road was commenced on Monday, October 13, 2025, and would be completed in the coming days.
On why he embarked on the project, the high flying academic collosus and YPP governorship candidate, said he was personally concerned about the condition of the road.
He described the ongoing work as a sign of what is to come.
“I was personally concerned about the condition of the road, and during our campaign tour in the LGA, I specifically singled that out and assured the people that we shall respond. What we are doing is a mere palliative work. It is a sign of what is to come. Under my watch, important and strategic infrastructure shall be given accelerated attention in the overall public good,” Chukwuma said.
In the meantime, the people of the area have commended Sir Paul Chukwuma for the good wok.
