The Governor of Delta State , Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has allayed fears over the completion of the multi-billion naira Asaba-Ughelli dual carriage way project.
Speaking
during an unscheduled inspection on the on-going remedial work along the
section C axis of the road in Ogwashi-Uku, Governor Okowa said road was an
important project because it linked the East- West Road connecting Delta State
to other States in the South-South region, disclosing that he was still being
briefed about the project.
According
to him, "this is an important road linking the East West road from Asaba
to Ughelli, we cannot abandon the project, for section C and section A of the
project, we are going to find out what caused the delay in the execution of the
project and know what to do."
"From
what I have gathered so far, we are going to review the entire process in
Section C, we were told it is an eight-lane road in some area, I don't think
the road is that busy for us to have an 8-lane road, we need to bring it to a
size that is realistic and affordable, it is our duty to ensure that the road
is motorable," the Governor said.
On the failed portion of the road, Senator Okowa said, "I asked the DLA (Direct Labour Agency) to intervene despite the fact that there is a contractor for the project and you can see that they have done a lot of work, they have done the filling and the road is passable."
