REPORT: Udenu Road Contract Revocation  A Call for Transparency and Accountability By Engr. Chekwube Tony Asogwa Special Adviser to Rt. Hon. Dr. Nnamdi Odo Dated: August 6, 2025 The recent announcement of the revocation of the Ukwu Akpu/Ozo Ji road contract by the Udenu Local Government Chairman, Hon.
