Commissions More Projects
DELTA
State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has urged those who are vandalizing
pipelines to sheath their swords and employ civil approach to address issues.
The
Governor made the call on Thursday while commissioning Jeddo/Ughoton road in
Okpe local government area of the state as part of activities to mark his one
year in office.
According
to him, "the pipeline vandalism that is going on is very bad for Delta
State, we are suffering from pollution, our communities are affected, we are
the greatest losers; our communities are impacted negatively."
"I
want to appeal to our brothers who are involved in one way or the other in
these vandalism to stop, we cannot destroy ourselves in order to make a point,
there are more civil ways of channeling grievances which we should apply than
vandalizing pipelines and endangering our people," the Governor said.
Commissioning
the road, Governor Okowa said his attention was drawn to the deplorable state
of the road by the Orodje of Okpe, HRM Orhue I and commended the contractor for
the speedy delivery of the road.
Orodje of Okpe, Orhue I in a brief speech, congratulated Deltans for having a listening governor disclosing that only a phone call attracted Governor Okowa to contruct the road which also, led to the community where the Commissioner for Works, Chief James Augoye hails from.
