While this project progresses, the lack of clarity on the Afuze-Erah road project has led to speculation and concerns among the community.
Call for Transparency
To alleviate concerns and speculation, residents are urging the relevant authorities and construction companies involved to provide accurate information on the Afuze-Erah road project’s status. Transparency and trust are essential for successful development projects, and clarity on this project’s status would help to build confidence among stakeholders, Mr. Joseph Ikhianvbode told Standarddailypress.com via telephone conversation from Afuze, Owan East LGA headquarters.
As the situation unfolds, one thing is certain: the need for clear communication and transparency in infrastructure development projects cannot be overstated. The community’s patience and understanding are wearing thin, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to these concerns.
