Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, ECTDA, has commended the state government for the reconstructions of over 241 bus shelters that were destroyed by hoodlums during the EndSARS protests in the capital city.

Speaking with newsmen, the Chairman of ECTDA, Josef Onoh, thanked Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his resilience and expeditious approval for the rebuilding of damaged infrastructure in the state capital.

He said that the state government was executing the projects at costs that would have been expended on other utility projects.
