The Governor decried the slow pace of work at some of the road projects and urged the construction firms to speed up their pace to meet the project specifications and time schedule promising to embark on regular inspection of projects in the state to ensure strict adherence to set standards.
" I am satisfied with the level of work being done in terms of quality but the pace of work is actually slow and l did make the comment to the contractor handling the Kpokpogri Okuovo-Opuraja road, that also l believe can go faster than it is and l have made that known to the contractors and this is the reason why we will be on site as regular as we can”, Senator Okowa said.
He assured Deltans that rural communities would feel the impact of government in the distribution of projects explaining that his administration has worked out modalities for the funding of projects to completion and as such no project would be abandoned.
At the 3.7km Amukpe - Okirigwe - AT&P road dualization project with walk ways and drains, Senator Okowa commended the quality of work and called on the contractor to speed up the pace of work on the project.
At the 2.4km Okuovo - Kpokpogri - Opuraja - Iriama junction road, where excavation work was on-going, he decried the slow pace of work on the project being handled by a local contracting firm, and called on local contractors to justify government's confidence in them by living up to expectations.
The Governor also inspected the 2.7 km Ejinyere - Orodje Street, road project and Orerokpe modern market project.
Senator Okowa was accompanied on the inspection visit by the Works Commissioner, Chief James Augoye, Information Commissioner, Mr Patrick Ukah, Housing Commissioner, Mr. Joseph Ogeh and the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Barr Mary Iyasere.

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...
