GOVERNOR UDUAGHAN GIVES SPECIAL ATTENTION TO DELTA ROADS

In the last one week the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, performed the official commissioning of several roads across the State, from Umunede/Mbiri road to Aradhe/Ushie/Ashaka road to Ashaka/Aboh roads and bridges to Refinery road dualization, including to Ekiugbo/Ughelli dual carriage way and street lights, Ovwor Olomu township roads and Umeh Road and bridge.
The provision of roads infrastructure, no doubt stands out as an initiative that is aimed at opening up and integrating various communities across the State with a view to enhancing economic development.
The policy target is the transformation of urban centres through the provision of good road network that will enhance effective flow of traffic and the provision of access roads in rural areas to ensure socio-political and economic development; Integration of remote, rural and riverine communities to urban centres through good roads and bridges, including the provision of effective drainage systems to protect road networks and prevent flooding.
There is also the support to Federal roads in the State, Governor Uduaghan said the State Government has re-constructed and rehabilitated Federal roads in the State to the tune of over N45billion that have been verified by the Federal Ministry of Works as genuine claims. He said although the administration is winding down, if they are unable to get the refund in this administration, the next administration will receive it when the Federal Government eventually refunds the money.

The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
