“This market is a strategic economic project. When completed, it will bring long-term benefits to our people and boost local commerce,” he said.

The Governor noted that the market, alongside key road constructions such as Opete Road, Orhuwhorun Road, and Aladja/Ogbe-Ijoh Road, and others reflects his administration’s determination to develop every part of the state.

Debunking claims of marginalization, he emphasized that projects are ongoing across all senatorial districts and local governments in the state. “I am an Urhobo man, but I am not just for the Urhobos, I am for all Deltans,” he stated.

He assured that all ongoing projects are fully funded with no delays in contractual payments. “There is no place in Nigeria where contractors are not owed, except here in Delta,” he said, urging contractors to maintain quality and meet delivery deadlines.

The Governor’s inspection attracted applause from residents, traders, and motorists, who hailed his developmental strides. He assured  that more projects would be initiated across the state under his MORE Agenda.

“It is encouraging to see the people’s excitement. Their support shows we are on the right path,” he said.
