GOVERNOR UDUAGHAN RENEWS COMMITMENT ON COMMISSIONING THE MASSIVE FLYOVER BRIDGES

The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan is on course to commissioning the flyover bridges in Asaba and Effurun. This follows the renewed commitment by the State government to actualize its ‘finishing strong’ mantra.

And for those who think Governor Uduaghan may not be able to finish the two gigantic flyover bridges being built by his administration in Asaba and Effurun, they will need to have a rethink. Reason! March 2015 is said to be the deadline for the two gigantic flyover bridges, which are currently undergoing heavy construction work. The State Works Commissioner, Hon. Funkekeme Solomon, said the State government is doing everything possible to ‘finish strong’ in the area of infrastructural development, which includes building of roads and bridges.

Funkekeme, whose Ministry supervises every civil work in the State, including the ones done by other ministries, said that government was keen about its urban and rural road transportation system for ease of evacuation of agricultural products, movement of goods and services, including personnel from one point to the other.

According to him, the Ministry has taken steps to aid and assist Governor Uduaghan’s vision of leaving behind a legacy of dependable and sustainable road networks that will assist Delta State to a point where if there are no more oil resources, it can still attract investors and they can have our confidence.

So much progress has been made with the hope that by the end of March, 2015 the two flyover bridges in Asaba and Effurun will be completed for use by Deltans. The flyovers bridges would not only decongest traffic in Warri and Asaba, but would raise the urbanization standard of the cities so as to attract investors.
