\nOn Roads, the youthful petroleum commissioner expressed disappointments that despite governor Okorocha’s magnanimity in approving additional 10 kilometre to the 15 kilometre local govts Rural Road Network for Ohaji\/Egbema; the plight of the people remains pitiable. He reassured the delegation that the Rescue Mission govt in Imo state would continue to fashion out programmes and policies that would change their plights.
