Road Construction To Enhance Development – Uduaghan

Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan has said apart from social benefits, economic variables are highly considered before the award of construction of roads.

Speaking after inspecting the progress of work on Umeh Road in Isoko South Local Government of the state on Tuesday, Uduaghan explained that in line with his commitment towards Delta Beyond Oil, economic variables were paramount for executing projects in the state.
He said, “This is an economically viable road in line with our aspirations towards achieving the policy thrust of Delta beyond Oil and this road will open up the rural communities for them to take their agricultural produce to the cities.”
The governor, who lamented that the 2012 flooding affected the project, noted that when completed, many communities would benefit from the road project.
The flood, he said, washed away the sand, as it threw up the challenge of constructing a bridge where the initial design was a box culvert.
He assured the people of Umeh and that efforts were on to complete the stone base work of the road and possibly, tar the road before the heavy rains set in.
The governor on Tuesday also inspected ongoing projects in Ughelli, Ekpan and Warri.
