New gorge disintegrations are creating out and about , in this manner , compounding the experiences of the general population even the same number of houses in the territory are under fast approaching risk. Congressperson Mao Ohuabunwa speaking to Abia North has severally bemoaned over the disappointment of the national government to handle real disintegration destinations in the zone , and comprehensively restore the Okigwe-Isuikwuato-Ohafia-Arochukwu roadway.
