Vice President Osinbajo, while answering
questions from journalists at a wedding he
attended at the Cathedral Church of the Good Shepherd, Anglican Communion, Enugu, during the weekend, said that the worst problem plaguing people of the South-Eastern area was bad roads, adding that the situation required urgent Federal Government attention.

Prof. Osinbajo stated that even though
the government has some financial constraints, there was urgent need to improve on the roads in the region where commerce is the source of income for the people. He said that he had discussed the issue with Governor Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.

He said:

“One problem that the people of the South-
East have is roads. You know what our
financial constraints are, and there is a
need for improvement on roads where
there is a lot of commerce and movement
of people. There is need to raise the value
of naira by discouraging importation of
some items so that the economy will
improve.”

In a homily at the church, Arch. Bishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Anglican Communion, His Grace, Emmanuel Chukwuma, appealed to the Federal Government to create employment for the teeming unemployed youths in the country, living in poverty.
