PDP’s Anyanwu Urges Flyover at IMSU Junction After Fatal Accident

People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has called for the construction of a flyover at the Imo State University (IMSU) Junction to control traffic.

This follows a fatal accident at the junction that claimed over ten lives.

Through his media aide, Ikenna Onuoha, Anyanwu emphasized that a flyover or a standard roundabout would prevent frequent accidents at the location.

He criticized the government’s failure to address the ongoing traffic issues at the junction over the past five years and accused the APC administration of neglecting the well-being of the citizens.

“If the present government in the State is proactive and has the interest of the citizens at heart, the first thing it would have done is to identify areas that affect the citizens and urgently proffer solutions to them.

“IMSU junction is one of the areas that need immediate attention.

“This is because students and lecturers stay at the junction to wait for taxis and buses.

“Instead of spending the state’s funds on frivolous and unimportant projects, the state government should immediately take action geared towards rescuing the situation,” he said.

Expressing shock over the waste of lives and properties in the Saturday’s incident, Anyanwu commiserated with families of those that died in the tragedy, praying God to grant those they left behind the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
