Speaking on a live radio or TV program to mark one year in office of his administration, Uzodinma explained that the reconstruction was necessitated due to complaints concerning the standard of the roundabouts.
Explaining further, the Governor said that the administration of his immediate predecessor, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha had recommended for complete demolition and remodeling based on recommendations of engineers.
