The Governor of Delta State, Dr.
Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has commissioned several roads across the State. Some
of the roads include the 7.8 kilometres Umunede-Mbiri Road Rehabilitation, Aboh/Ashaka/Ushie/Arhade
and Refinery Road Effurun. Others are the Ughelli urban dualisation, Ovwor and
UmehTownship roads.
Addressing the audience which included traditional
rulers, palace chiefs, political leaders and stakeholders, the governor said
that "the roads will improve inter-city and intra-city road
transportation, enhance urban growth, communication and reinvigorate commerce
and social life in these areas.”
''We constructed theses roads to take people
safely to their destination, when you are drunk, don't drive, when you are
feeling sleepy, don't drive and when you take drugs, please don't drive, by
God's grace this road will take us to our destination'' Gov Uduaghan added.
At Mbiri the governor who said the Mbiri
farm settlement road was dear to his heart promised to complete it and other
projects in the area before he leaves office.
Gov Uduaghan enjoined the people to vote
massively for President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and other PDP
candidates, reminding them that they should endeavour to collect their
Permanent Voters' Card (PVC) on which basis they can vote at the polls.
Earlier during a courtesy visit to the
Obi of Mbiri, HRM Obi Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Alekwe II, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan
commended the unity amongst traditional rulers in Delta State and urged their
subjects to emulate them so that development can come to their areas.
According to him, 'The presence of other
traditional rulers showed the unity among traditional rulers, that is a lesson
to all of us who are your subjects because if our royal fathers are united then
of course the subjects become united and we have no cause to be divided''.
The governor who explained that the road
to the farm settlement was being delayed due to the need to redesign it
promised that the road and the one leading to the palace would be completed
before the end of the administration.
