Okowa directs Ministry of works, Levant Coy to Complete Ughelli-Asaba Road Project

The Okowa led Delta State government is not leaving any stone unturned to commission the Ughelli Asaba Road before the end of this administration.

Towards that goal, the contractor, Levant Construction company, the State Ministry of Works has been given marching order to complete the road before May 29, the terminal date of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa administration.

Handing down this order in Asaba as part of post exco briefing, the State Information Commissioner ,Mr Charles Aniagwu said government was serious about completing the project.

’The governor has also given marching order to the Ministry of Works to impress it upon the contractor, Levant Construction company handling Section C2 of the Ughelli Asaba Road dualisation project. The section has to do with the Koka interchange up to the Ogwashi Uku Junction was few months ago awarded to Levant Construction company at the cost of 8 billion naira by Okowa led administration

‘The import of the order is to enable us have the privilege of inaugurating that particular corridor before we exit on May 29.’

The Information Commissioner also disclosed that serious attention would be given to combating floods in Warri.

Government has therefore directed the secretary to state government , Chief Patrick Ukah to liaise with the authorities of the Warri/Uwvie and Environs Development Agencies to work in that direction.

Said Aniagwu :’Our commitment to control the flood in the Warri axis is with the view to allow government to proceed to construct roads in the dire need of rehabilitation or construction.

If we don’t address the flood challenge in that corridor before constructing the roads, we will only be doing the wrong thing because when the floods come, it will not only destroy the roads but also ravage the homes around the roads.’
Aniagwu stated that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa shall inspect the Ayakoromo Bridge to ascertain the level of work done so far and how soon the project would be completed.

The Information Commissioner was also hopeful that the next governor ,Hon Sheriff Oborevwori shall complete the projects for he knows the importance of such projects as the speaker who approved the budget.

Said Aniagwu :’The governor has at today Exco, appreciated Deltans for finding the PDP worthy of continuing with the laudable projects that this administration has executed by voting massively for Sheriff Oborevwori.’
