Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori staying true to his earlier promise to engage more in field work in the new year has consistently embarked on inspection of ongoing projects in various parts of the state.
The latest of his outings was the inspection of the proposed Asaba Waterfront City and the access road, under a Public Private Partnership, PPP Model conceived by the previous administration.
Governor Oborevwori said the State Government was saddled with the provision of a six-lane access road to the new city, while the developer he said was expected to reclaim the land and develop the city.
According to the Governor, Asaba the Delta State capital has continued to be the beautiful bride to property developers from various parts of the country especially Lagos.
Governor Oborevwori said with the level of work done so far coupled with the assurances from the developing partner, the project would be completed before the year 2025 runs out.
At the 4.5-kilometre Oko-Amakom to Oko-Obiakpu main alignment road, the Governor said due to the topography of the area, the State Government would spend on the road much more than what it would have spent in constructing a 10-kilometre road elsewhere, a gesture he said was part of his government’s strong commitment towards enhanced economic development of rural dwellers.
Other roads inspected include Marine Road off Cable Point Asaba and the ongoing construction work on Leo Okonweze and Odozi-Obodo Streets off Ezenei Avenue in Asaba where he urged the contractor to redouble his efforts for its speedy completion.
