By Anne Azuka

Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State
has inaugurated the newly constructed 4.04 kilometers of Emevor-Orogun Phase 1 road project with 5.555km accompanying side drains at Emevor in Isoko North Local Government Area of the State.

Equally, the governor approved the second phase of the project to complete the entire stretch of the road to the admiration of the people.

Oborevwori while speaking at the inauguration ceremony at Emevor community in Isoko North Local Government Area lauded the Contractor, Emorock Construction Concepts for a job well done.

He said that when the full length of the road is completed, it would reduce travel time significantly around the corridor.

He disclosed that his administration has released over N1 billion to the contractor handling the College of Health Sciences project at the Delta State University of Science and Technology, DSUST, Ozoro, Isoko North Local Government Area of the State.

The Governor who paid tribute to his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, under whose administration contract for the first phase of the project was awarded, appreciated the people of Emevor and Isoko nation for standing by his administration, assuring that they would not be disappointed.

Oborevwori assured that the contractor handling the College of Health Sciences project at the Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro would complete the project by October this year.

“In line with my promise not to abandon on-going projects inherited from the previous administration, I came to inspect this project on the 8th of March and 8th of April to ensure that this phase of the road is put to use before the rains.

“It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to have completed this road, knowing how strategic and important it is to the people of Emevor and the surrounding communities. This is a testament that our MORE Agenda is on course. It is another promise made, and promise kept.

“With the completion of the first phase being 4.04 Kilometres, accessing our farms, markets and neigbhouring villages will no more be a nightmare. I believe that the local economy and living standards of our people within this axis will henceforth improve.

The member representing Isoko Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko, and member representing Isoko North constituency in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Bernard Odior, appreciated the Governor for all he was doing in Isoko nation, particularly on the establishment of College of Health Technology at Ovrode.

The lawmakers recalled that the Emevor-Orogun road had been a great challenge to all Isoko people, assuring that the Isoko Nation would remain loyal and committed to his administration.

The State Commissioner for Works, (Rural and Riverine Roads), Mr. Charles Aniagwu, commended the Contractor for the timely and quality delivery of the project.

He was optimistic that completing the entire stretch of the road to Orogun would complete the joy of the people.

Welcoming guests earlier, the President- General of Emevor Progress Union, Comrade Teddy Edoso, and Chairman, Delta State Hospitals Management Board, Dr Paul Oweh, thanked Governor Oborevwori for completing the first phase of the road.
