Delta state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori , has disclosed that his administration has released over N1 billion to the contractor handling the College of Health Sciences project at the Delta state University of Science and Technology, DSUST, Ozoro, Isoko North Local Government. 

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com  noted that Governor Oborevwori said this during the inauguration of the 4.04km Emevor-Orogun Phase 1 project with 5.555km side drains in Emevor Community on Tuesday. 

The governor , who commended his immediate predecessor,  Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, under whose administration  the contract for the first phase of the project was awarded, also appreciated the people of Emevor and Isoko nation for standing by his administration, assuring that they would not be disappointed. 

Governor Oborevwori also announced approval for the second phase of the project and the people welcomed this with a round of applause.

The governor, who lauded the contractor, Emorock Construction Concepts, for a job well done, said:

‘We have released over N1 billion to the contractor handling the College of Health Sciences project at the Delta state University of Science and Technology, Ozoro. It is a big project, and I can assure you that it will be completed by October this year. 

I must acknowledge and appreciate my predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, under whose stewardship the contract for the first phase of this road was awarded and construction commenced. I am proud to say that this road was constructed by an indigenous contractor who has delivered on the job. 

In line with my promise not to abandon ongoing projects inherited from the previous administration, I came to inspect this project on the 8th of March and 8th of April to ensure that this phase of the road is put to use before the rains. 

It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to have completed this road, knowing how strategic and important it is to the people of Emevor and the surrounding communities. This is a testament that our MORE Agenda is on course. It is another promise made, and promise kept. 

With the completion of the first phase being 4.04 Kilometres, accessing our farms, markets and neigbhouring villages will no more be a nightmare. I believe that the local economy and living standards of our people within this axis will henceforth improve. 

I have heard your request for the construction of the second phase. Be rest assured, with God helping us, we will construct the full length of the road which terminates at Orogun’. 

The governor added that when the full length of the road is completed, it would reduce travel time significantly around the corridor. 

 Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko, who represents Isoko Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives,  and Hon. Bernard Odior , who represents Isoko North constituency in the State House of Assembly,  in their separate speeches  appreciated the governor for all he has done in Isoko nation, especially the establishment of  the College of Health Technology in Ovrode. 

The lawmakers said the Emevor-Orogun road had been a great challenge to all Isoko people, assuring that the Isoko Nation would remain loyal and committed to the current administration in the state. 

The Commissioner for Works, (Rural and Riverine Roads), Mr. Charles Aniagwu, commended the contractor, for the timely and quality delivery of the project. 

He noted however that completing the entire stretch of the road to Orogun would complete the joy of the people. 

Welcoming guests earlier, the President- General of Emevor Progress Union, Comrade Teddy Edoso, and Chairman, Delta state Hospital Management Board, Dr Paul Oweh, thanked  Governor Oborevwori for completing the first phase of the road project and appealed for the award of contract for the Phase 2 leading to the villages of Emevor and Orogun Town in Ughelli North Local Government. 

They commended Governor Oborevwori for appointing indigenes of the community to government positions and for prioritizing and expediting action on the road project while pledging total commitment of the Emevor people to the governor’s political aspirations–Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
