Anyanwu calls for flyover at IMSU junction after fatal accident
By Chibuzo Ihegboro
Senator Samuel Anyanwu, a PDP Chieftain, has called on the Imo State Government to construct a flyover at the Imo State University (IMSU) Junction to address traffic congestion, in response to a recent fatal accident that resulted in the loss of over ten lives.
More than ten people died in an accident at the IMSU junction on Saturday, when a trailer crashed into four buses.
Anyanwu, who was the PDP gpvernorship candidate in the 2023 elections made this known in a statement by his Media Spokesperson, Ikenna Onuoha.
He said: “Regrettably for the past five years, the popular IMSU junction had been in the news for the bad, citing government’s inability to proffer lasting solutions to the traffic menace experienced in that particular place.”
Anyanwu wondered how the APC administration in the State had continued to pay lip service to 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.
He commiserated with families of those that died in the tragedy, and prayed that God grant those they left behind the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
