Ikem–Eha-Amufu Road: A Troubling Reflection of Infrastructure Neglect in Isi-Uzo

The deplorable condition of the Ikem–Eha-Amufu Road in Isi-Uzo LGA, Enugu State, has become a pressing concern for residents and road users whose livelihoods and daily activities depend on this vital route.

Development should be measured not merely by promises or slogans, but by tangible improvements in the lives of citizens.
