Ibe, a Professor of Entrepreneurial Science made the assertion during a parley with newsmen, on Wednesday. He commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state for building on the foundations laid by his predecessors, thereby working towards the realization of the Abia masterplan. According to Professor Ibe, “This is the policy that has now led to the construction of solid paved roads built with cement technology by Governor Ikpeazu, from the old foundation of coal tar roads as was done by his predecessors. By so doing, the Governor has subsequently prepared a good ground for continuity by his successor. “The foundations laid by Governor Ikpeazu constitute good building blocks for his successor to accelerate the pace of development, in furtherance of the masterplan designed by the founding fathers of our great state.
