The Bayelsa State Government on Monday reassured the people of Ogbia local government area of the state that it would continue work on the Ogu-Anyama-Emadike road as soon as possible.
The Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, gave the reassurance when he granted audience to some stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party from Ogbia Ward 2, during a courtesy call in Government House, Yenagoa.
Ewhrudjakpo explained that although government’s attention had been beamed more on the three pivotal senatorial roads in the last couple of years, it is now looking at other internal and critical road projects across the state.
He assured the Ogbia delegation of the Prosperity Administration’s commitment to fulfilling its promise to commence the road project to alleviate the plight of the people as well as reduce insecurity in the area.’
