The Delta State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has disclosed that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s constant drive for rigorous inspection of projects is to ensure transparency, quality, and timely delivery of projects.
The commissioner stated this on Tuesday, during the inspection of various projects in Aniocha North, Ika South, and Ika North-East Local Government Areas of the state.
He added that it is important to clarify the rationale behind the continued inspection of various ongoing projects across the state, asserting that the inspections are to ensure that all projects align strictly with their specifications, ultimately guaranteeing that the people of the state get full value for every naira spent.
Aniagwu, accompanied by top state government officials, inspected the ongoing construction of Issele-Azagba-Otulu Road, Aziken Avenue, DDPA Low Cost Housing Estate, Boji-Boji Agbor, the 10km Owa-Alero – Otolokpo Road, and Kingdom Road, Umunede.

“The governor emphasised that regular oversight is essential not only to hold contractors accountable, but also to ensure adherence to the terms outlined in the bill of engineering measurement and evaluation.
“By doing so, the government ensures that neither the state nor its citizens are short-changed in any form.
“Another vital reason for these inspections is to increase public awareness of the developmental projects being executed, many of which the people may not be aware of.
“Through media engagement, the government aims to keep citizens informed and encourage community participation in monitoring progress,” he said.
Aniagwu charged citizens of the state to use the whistleblower line to report any deviations or shortcomings in project execution.
