Governor Ifeanyi Okwa of Delta
State, has set in motion, modalities for the completion of Ughelli-Asaba Road
dualisation project.
The Special Project Director in
charge of the road, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, made the disclosure while addressing
newsmen during an inspection tour of the project.
He said the state government had
directed the contractor handling Sector A of the road to return to site to complete
the project despite the paucity of fund facing the government.
Onesoke said that when the
construction of the dual carriage way is completed, it will connect the various
communities, towns and cities, opening them up for commercial activities that will
also herald other economic developmental endeavours.
He pointed out that the road will
be a major incentive and bait for investors to come and take advantage of
business potentials in communities linking the expressway, adding that the
value of every other initiative in the administration’s development agenda
would be more meaningful and valued when such can be accessed easily by the
people.
“Investors will either be
encouraged to build warehouse for storage of agricultural raw materials for
production or storage of finished products to be transported outside the state.
Some investors might decide to establish industry here hence the road is motor
able for transportation of goods in and out. Such investment will lead to
provision of employment,” he said.
