The need for urbanisation is for greater financial and economic opportunities for the citizenry but this has been severely defeated owing to mismanagement of the surge in human and vehicular population especially in Owerri, the Imo State Capital.
Again, the advantages inherent in most Nigerian cities are now nearly eroded, no thanks to unplanned roads, junctions and intersections which has led to sundry inconveniences and even road accidents from incessant gridlocks and traffic jams.
The Imo State Government, led by His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma has thought it wise to make the case of Owerri different by making Owerri road users heave a sigh of relief. By procuring the services of Planet Projects Limited (PPL), the attendant outcome can be manifestly in the photos inset.
Planet Projects Limited (PPL) provides expertise in Traffic Engineering, Urban Renewal and Infrastructure Development across all transport modes and they are working to reduce the hellish traffic at 7 key junctions in Owerri with traffic markings, traffic lights and CCTV cameras.
According to Paul Goldberger, Urbanism works when it creates a journey as desirable as the destination. These junction improvement works will reduce delays and improve safety for both motorized and non-motorized modes. With this, more people and businesses can get to their destinations on time with no hassles, with the improved economic viability it will have in Imo State as a whole.
