Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Reuben Izeze, has affirmed that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is delivering on his promise to revamp infrastructure in Warri, Effurun, and environs.
Speaking during an inspection tour of projects in Udu and Uvwie Local Government Areas of the state, Izeze highlighted several key projects under construction by the state government.
The projects are the Bazi Road, off College Road in Aladja, the Opete Road linking DSC Expressway to Opete Waterside, the DSC Link Road connecting to the Ughelli-Patani Road, and the Sokoh Estate Road in Effurun.
According to Izeze, these projects reflect the governor’s commitment to the MORE Agenda, aimed at ensuring development across the state.
He praised the quality of work and urged the contractors to fast-track progress before the onset of the heavy rains.
Commenting on the DSC Link Road, Izeze explained that its purpose is to ease traffic congestion on the East-West Road.
“The work is impressive, especially considering the difficult terrain. The contractors are working to specification, and we have encouraged them to make the most of the remaining dry season,” he said.
At Sokoh Estate Road, Izeze described the project as long overdue, declaring that “for over 25 years, this road has been in disrepair.
“It’s a critical link between Jakpa Road and Airport Road, and its redesign was necessary due to its unique challenges, including flooding and underground water.”
He added that the new design includes wider lanes and larger drains to address persistent flooding.
