Anambra State government has signed an agreement with the GLOBIM Corporation for the construction of Onitsha Metropolitan Monorail.
The ceremony took place at the Governor’s conference room, Government House, Awka. The project which will be executed under Public, Private Partnership arrangement will cover Onitsha and extend to Nkpor and Obosi.
Governor Peter Obi signed for the state government while the Chairman of Globim, Dr. Jude Igwemezie, signed for the corporation.
Speaking at the occasion, Governor Obi noted that high volume commercial and other socio-economic activities in Onitsha and environs required a structural transport system that would provide alternative and reduce the over dependence on road transportation. He said this would, among other things, solve the problem of traffic congestion and enhance movement of people in the area.
