Oborevwori vows to boost infrastructure development in Delta
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Sunday, stated that the state will experience improved delivery of additional infrastructure in 2025.
The Governor declared his intention to carry out more inspections and project inaugurations in the office in the coming year.
Governor Oborevwori disclosed this during the inspection of projects within Asaba and the state capital territory.
Speaking at the proposed Asaba International Market, Governor Oborevwori said he decided to visit some of the projects to see things for himself.
He said: “We won’t just sit in the office and do just approvals; we need to look at some of these projects to see how they are performing.
“After service today, I decided to pay unscheduled visit to this Asaba International Market. Within this month, we are going to do the groundbreaking, but we have already authorised them to start the construction.
“We will come fully for the groundbreaking before the end of this month. It’s part of the facelift to the capital territory. We are going around the city, looking at the city to make sure the place is clean.
“Most of the roads are already due for overlay because most of them are old roads. You know, when you are using roads, you need to maintain them; in the Western world, you see them maintain their roads regularly.
“So, we will continue to maintain some of these roads and construct new ones and give the Asaba Capital Territory a new face.”
He said the market used to be the Abraka Market where criminals were taking advantage of the area before the state government relocated them to Oko.
According to him,”The State Government decided to relocate the market to Oko and we have made arrangements with Efab Properties Limited to develop this place.
“The state government is getting 20 percent because we are providing land and they are to build and allocate but we will get 20 percent from it and it’s something that we encourage.”
Governor Oborevwori also inspected the completed Gerald Onianwa Crescent, Odigwe Juwa Avenue, the storm drainage project under construction behind Asaba Specialist Hospital in Asaba, and other network of roads in Oshimili South Local Government Area.
