As part of activities marking his second anniversary in office, Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Wednesday, inaugurated multiple road projects in Warri South Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony at Upper and Lower Erejuwa Road, in Warri, the governor urged residents of the Warri metropolis to maintain the prevailing peace to foster continued development.
Other roads inaugurated simultaneously include the General Hospital Road linking Police Command Road, Ajamimogha/Mabiaku link road, Ogunu community main and internal roads, Ugbuwangue community roads, and Okere Market Road, all in the Warri metropolis.
Gov. Oborevwori said that the roads being commissioned are of strategic importance, not only for trade and commerce but also for a broader urban renewal effort.
“With good roads, our people are happier and more productive. I assure you that we will continue to do our best for our people. When the roads are good, you don’t have to worry about your vehicle or the journey; it becomes smoother and safer.
“I renew my pledge to restore the lost glory of Warri and Effurun through robust infrastructure development.
“The construction of the three flyovers and slip roads by Julius Berger has reached an advanced stage, and we expect to commission them by the first quarter of next year.

“Another major priority is the reconstruction of the stadium. We initially sought land in Warri to construct a 30,000-seat stadium. Unfortunately, we could not find a space large enough within the city.
“Many insisted the stadium must remain in Warri and not be relocated. To that end, we have awarded the contract, and we are hopeful that by the first quarter of next year, the Warri Stadium will be completed.
“We are fully committed to the mission of advancing Delta State, in every sense: physically, economically, and in human development.
“In the coming weeks and months, we shall be commissioning several new projects across all three senatorial districts,” the governor assured.
Earlier, Chairman of Warri South Local Government, Agbateyinro Isaac, applauded the Gov. Oborevwori for the uncommon transformation his administration had brought to the state and the local government area.
He added that the people of the local government were pleased with the massive infrastructural development of his administration.
