He noted that it is a measure by the Imo State Government to recover its verges which are in deplorable State due to illegal human activities, saying that Government will continue to carryout the Wire Mesh Project until it gets to all the nooks and crannies of the State capital.
According to the OCDA General Manager Engr. Francis Chukwu, "what also informed this is that we need to start the beautification of surroundings of projects being done by the Governor, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma.
