Addressing his audience at the Pacesetter Frontier Discourse Public Lecture and Awards on Saturday, Nweke noted that there were numerous roads that required attention, repairs and construction.
He said his administration would embark on a general study and consultation and publish a list of roads that will come under the strategic Road Construction and Rehabilitation Programme.

The commencement and completion dates for all such projects will be published so that citizens could plan their developments and investments accordingly,” he continued.
