Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has expressed eagerness for the earnest completion of the storm water drainage and critical artery roads in Asaba and Okpanam, within the state capital territory before the next rains.
The governor, who spoke with some journalists weekend in Asaba after inspecting the level of work done at the storm drainage projects, the Mariam Babangida Way and different roads under construction in Okpanam, said the people yearn for the completion of the projects.
“With the dry season, we will do a lot more in the area of road construction. We are aware that despite our efforts to construct roads in different parts of the state, road infrastructure still needs a lot of attention in our state and we are aware of the importance of good road network to the lives of our people.”
The governor who had earlier, inspected the storm drainage projects at Government House, Cabinet Office Road, Ralph Uwechue Way, among others, observed that the projects are in different stages of completion.
He said “the main project that we inspected today is the storm drainage projects and we saw a lot of progress. We are looking into the end of February for the completion.”
“But from what we saw at the drainage project sites the companies will likely complete the jobs ahead of schedule which is by the end of January. So, I am glad that a lot is being done, the contractors are very serious with their work and that is very good“, Okowa observed.
