Two major roads under construction in Asaba, Delta State estimated at over N10 billion would be completed in three months, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa assured yesterday when he inspected some of the projects.
The roads, which include dualisation of Nnebisi-Cable Road and Okpanam Road, the governor said would be delivered in accordance with approved scope and specification.
"I think the
work in Okpanam is going very well, the dualisation of the road and the
drainage is coming up very well and they are moving much faster and we
intend to release some mobilisation to the contractor because, I have
confirmed that the contractor was not mobilised by the previous
administration.
"So, we intend to release some money to him because he has been working solely with his company’s fund.
When he is mobilised, he will move faster than what is going on now," Okowa said.
The governor, however, said the Okpanam Road project would be slowed down because of the storm drainage constructed all through Okpanam community which connects Nnebisi Road to the FMC Road which will lead to the River Niger.
"These are very major projects; the estimate we have at the moment is about N9 billion because the sewage will be constructed in such a way that it will be big and wide enough for cars to drive through, for people to walk through," he hinted.
"We are in very challenging times, but, we have very good managers in this administration, not just myself but, a team of intelligent people who are putting head together, trying to cut cost and make savings in different ways so that we are able to impact positively on our people; we are looking at generating funds through our internally generated revenue without impacting negatively on our people," he added.
