Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has announced that Governor Sheriff Oborevweri will commission several projects to mark his second year in office.
Speaking at a press conference in Asaba, Aniagwu said the administration has left “bold and remarkable footprints” across the state.
He said the key projects include the Beneku Bridge, Ishiagu-Ewulu Road and Bridge, Upper and Lower Erejuwa Roads in Warri, erosion control in Okpanam, Olomoro-Igbide Road, Otolokpo to Boji-Boji Owa, Akumazi-Owere-Olubor Road, and Obi-Ibabu Road, among others.
He also noted that development projects have reached many previously underserved coastal communities, including Ode-Itsekiri, where the Trans-Warri bridges and access roads to creek communities are progressing well.
“We have also revived work on the Ayakoromo Bridge in Burutu Local Government Area, which will help connect several coastal communities to the upland,” he added.
“We have also installed medical equipment at Asaba Specialist Hospital, Warri Central Hospital, and Delta State University Teaching Hospital in Oghara, all aimed at improving healthcare delivery and reducing medical tourism.”
The commissioner reiterated Oborevwori’s commitment to the overall development of the state, saying governance will not take a back seat even as political activities intensify.
“Governor Oborevwori has instructed all cabinet members and agency heads to remain focused. Governance will not be sidelined. For every project executed, payment is made promptly after certification, showcasing our prudent approach to resource management,” Aniagwu said.
“Anyone suggesting that the administration is losing grip is far from the truth. The Governor remains committed to delivering results.”
