For so long, the three major political blocs of the zone were in dark and suffering pains of inaccessible roads. One administration after another, since 1999, came and passed, and have left their own imprints.

Yet, none of the past chairmen have used asphalt to do roads. Today, Prince Nwanjoku has achieved that.

The 4.5-kilometre Obuagu Ohofia road connects Aninri and Nkanu West local government area from Nkerefi town.

However, few constituents thinks that its “biased” the asphalted road is at the chairman’s countryhome.

“This is foolishness on the part of those people, few of them,” Mr Chibueze Onu, a major stakeholders in Aninri said. According to him, focus shouldn’t be at the place where the road is done, but on how big Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku thinks.

Now, no matter how anyone may look at it, Prince Nwanjoku has set a new record. He is the first Aninri council chairman to ever do a road using asphalt, and among the 4 out of current 17 council chairmen in Enugu State who ever used asphalt on roads.

Aninri, a remote zone, is one of the smallest council area in the state and with the smallest federal allocation.

Asphalt, a waterproof and adhesive material made principally from bitumen, is largely avoided by council politicians for its high costs. At approximately ₦136,500 per ton or ₦5,500 per square metre, the cost of completing Obuagu Ohofia road will run into tens of millions.
