ASABA/UGHELLI DUAL CARRIAGE ROAD TO BE COMPLETED, GOVERNOR OKOWA ASSURES


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."
The Site Engineer, Fred Agbanure who conducted the governor round said that flood water was being properly channeled, and more equipment would be moved to the site to ensure speedy completion of the work.
He also disclosing that within the next seven days, asphalt would be laid on the road.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
