OBOREVWORI MOURNS EX-ASSEMBLY CLERK, COMMISSIONER, DAN OKENYI

Exco/April 11 Delta State Executive Council has given a matching order to the Ministry of Works to ensure that the Sector C2 of the Asaba/Ughelli dualisation project is completed in the life of the present administration. The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu disclosed this while briefing journalists on some of decisions reached at the State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting presided over by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at Government House, Asaba. Mr. Aniagwu said that a lot of works have been done on the Sector C2 of the road from Koka flyover and interchange to Ogwashi-Uku junction, adding that the remaining part of the project would be completed by the incoming administration. He pointed out that the state Exco had given approval for the construction of Alihagu Road, Umudein Street as well as Orewa Street all in Ika South Local Government Area. The Commissioner stated that the cardinal goal of the Senator Ifeanyi Okowa led administration was to connect all communities in the state with motorable roads. According to him, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Chief Patrick Ukah has been mandated by Exco to liaise with the authorities of Warri/Uvwie and Environs Development Agency (WUEDA) on ways to fast track the process of actualising the flood control project in the area. Mr Aniagwu pointed out that the project was expedient owing to the fact that no roads could stand the test of time in Warri axis if the flood challenge in the area was not adequately addressed. He said the Ayakromo Bridge will be inspected by the governor to ascertain the level of work done so far and how soon the project would be completed. The Commissioner commended Deltans for the confidence reposed on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which, he said, culminated in the emergence of Chief Sheriff Oborevwori as governor-elect in the gubernatorial election in the state. Mr. Aniagwu said Chief Oborevwori has all that was needed to build on the legacies of Governor Okowa and sued for the support of all in actualising the MORE Agenda of the incoming administration. Cov/
