The Governor of Delta
State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has said the Jeddo/Omadino road will be
extended to the EagleFlight University to ensure speedy development of the
area.
Governor Okowa
made the disclosure yesterday after inspecting the recently constructed road to
the tankers' park and the Jeddo/Omadino road that was under construction. According
to Governor Okowa, EagleFlight University has brought development to that part
of the state and his administration will complement the private efforts by
constructing roads and providing other facilities in the area.
He observed that
the rehabilitation of the Jeddo/Omadino road has eased the sufferings of
Deltans who had to make use of the bad road to their detriment.
Speaking on the
tankers' park development, the Governor directed the Commissioner for Works,
Chief James Augoye to liaise with his Finance counterpart in the Ministry of
Finance to work out modalities to generate revenue from the multi-million naira
takers park located at Ekpan, Uvwie local government area of the State.
According to him,
construction of the road which involved concrete overlay to ensure that it
survived the test of time was very vital as it has taken away tankers that
caused traffic gridlock from the road, disclosing that the park has capacity
for more than three hundred tankers.
On the need to
generate revenue from the park, the Governor observed that there was no motor
park that revenue was not generated and as such, modalities must be put in
place to generate funds from the park to ensure its sustainability.
Governor Okowa who
was accompanied on the inspection visit by Commissioners and contractors
handling the road projects, lauded the quality of work done on the roads.
