Delta State Prioritises Infrastructure for Sustainable Development

In a bid to foster sustainable development, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, the Governor of Delta State, has announced that the state government is focused on connecting communities with roads and bridges. The Governor made this statement during an inspection of several key projects, including the Okpanam-Ibusa bypass road, Beneku bridge, Emevor-Orogun Road, Orere bridge, and the Model Technical College in Orerokpe.

Governor Oborevwori emphasised the importance of project continuity for sustainable development, stating that it was a fulfilment of his pledge to complete existing projects while also initiating new ones. He said, “The Okpanam-Ibusa bypass is a road that is very key to connect from the Benin/Asaba highway to Ibusa, to give access to the people around that area."

On the subject of the Beneku bridge, the Governor highlighted its significance, particularly for the people of Ndokwa West and Ndokwa East who have been using pontoons to transport vehicles across the river. He said, “The previous administration felt that it was good to put a bridge here. It is also a way of connecting with the people and that’s what we have been doing."

Regarding the 4.5km Emevor-Orogun road phase, the Governor commended the contractor for the quality of work done, assuring that the project would be completed in no distant time. At Orere bridge, Oborevwori praised the contractor, Obakpor Engineering Limited, for the quality of work, adding that the bridge and access road would be completed by the end of the year.

Archbishop Cyril Odutemu of the Ecclesiastical Province of Bendel and Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ughelli lauded Governor Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, for awarding the Orere bridge project. He prayed for the State Government to be granted the resources to complete the project.

The Governor was accompanied during the inspection by the Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads) Comrade Reuben Izeze; Commissioner for Works (Rural and Riverine Roads), Mr Charles Aniagwu, and top officials of the various ministries.
