However, most of the agrarian rural areas suffered enormous economic losses due to the absence of roads through which they could transport their farm produce and wares to the urban communities for sale. The farm produce eventually gets spoilt as they alone cannot consume all they harvest.

This situation was the crux of the presentation by women in several communities to the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly and the PDP standard bearer for Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency at the February 25th polls, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji MNSE while he was honouring invitations to the women's August meeting last year.
Moved by their plight, the Speaker promised to do all within his power to change the situation by creating new roads and grading existing ones already taken over and covered by thick bushes and trees, and the ones washed away by heavy floods over time.

In his usual characteristic of keeping to his promise, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji rolled out the caterpillars and bulldozers to commence work on the 10th of December, 2022 so the affected communities in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency could be opened up for seamless movements during the yuletide and beyond, and also more importantly, to boost their economic activities and bring prosperity to the people.
