Chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has commended the Governor of Delta State, Dr
Ifeanyi Okowa for releasing funds for the payment of Major Roads Contractors in
Delta state.
Onuesoke who made the commendation
when he paid unscheduled inspection visit to Ughelli–Asaba dualisation road
project as the Special Project Director, said he was elated with the
development because, the move would substantially improve contractors’
confidence in the state government and overall projects execution.
He said the release of funds to
major roads contractors is in tandem with the statement of the Governor
immediately after his inauguration on May 29th, 2015 that he was in a
hurry to transform the Delta State peculiar terrain by providing good roads for
the people of the state.
Onuesoke pointed out that the first
thing he did to show that he meant business was to intervene in the Benin-Warri
Expressway which is a federal road by fixing the failed portions of the
road, adding that, Okowa’s road imprints are now seen everywhere across Delta
State.
“In Asaba, the capital of
Delta State, we have lost count of the number of roads the Delta State
government has constructed or refurbished. Okowa’s administration has even
advanced further, by going into roads in the difficult terrains of Forcados, Burutu,
Ode-Itsekiri and some riverine areas of Warri South West, Warri South and Warri
North; places where princes feared to tread”, he stated.
Onuesoke explained that the beauty
of it is that, the Governor has opened up roads that link the hinterland where
it would become easier for food stuff and goods to be transported to
the upland markets.
He disclosed that Okowa has added
new roads to be executed and taking advantage of the dry season in addition to
the over 90 roads project that have been completed or are at different stages
of completion.
“They include the reconstruction and
resurfacing of roads like the old Umunede/Emuhu road, Obiaruku/Abbi roads,
Ughelli-Asaba dualisation road, access road to Ugbuwangue new layout,
construction of Okuomowa road to Osubi to link Efekpo lane and the construction
of Ekete main road, off DSC expressway among others. All these projects
have endeared persons in these catchment areas to Dr. Okowa. No wonder they nicknamed
him as ‘The Road Master’, he revealed.
Onuesoke urged the people of Delta
State to re-elect Okowa in 2019 to enable him to complete some
of the uncompleted road projects and to construct new road projects so as
to bring socio-economic development to the state.
