THE Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration is not resting on its oars as contractors are placed on their toes to ensure quality jobs are delivered to the people of the state as at when due.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Project Monitoring/Audit, Engr. Dr. Goodnews Agbi, who went on inspection of projects in Isoko North, Uvwie and Okpe local government areas of the state, expressed satisfaction with the level of work in all the project sites visited.
Areas visited for inspection were the College of Nursing Ovrode in Isoko North, construction of Faculty of Medical Science, Delta State University of Technology Ozoro, construction of DSC link road, off Ughelli-Patani road in Uvwie, maintainance of Uti road/U-turn at Ugbomoro in Uvwie local government area, reconstruction of Olomoro- Igbide Road in Isoko North and the dualisation of Ezesi road Orerokpe, in Okpe local government area.
Dr. Agbi, who went round these sites with the aim of getting contractors to deliver quality and long lasting infrastructures, said that “Since morning ,we have been on the road, we started from Ovurode, we saw the structure that is going on there, that is what the governor promised the Isoko people. They are bringing school of health technology into the community. Work has started and it is going on very well at a very fast pace. From there we went to Olomoro- Igbide road, where the contractor is also doing very well.” “From there we came to DSC link road, then to Uti road/U-turn at Ugbomoro ,where we have pointed a few errors before the army checkpoint to correct that place. Infact, he is going to remove most of the alsphat, fill very well with hardcore because every checkpoint is always the problem traction. Once a trailer or a heavy vehicle stops at a checkpoint, when it want to to go, it scarify the soil and removes the alsphat. It is not a major problem to be corrected. And then of course, we are at the dualisation of Ezesi road in Orerokpe. All the projects we inspected are very very good and they are also up to space, and this is exactly what the MORE Agenda is all about.”
“Very good roads, good workmanship. We went through seven projects ongoing in the state just only in one day. In other local government areas, similar things are ongoing, as usual weekly we always go to the project sites.”
Dr. Agbi, however, called on aggrieved Deltans who were yet to feel the impact of the MORE Agenda to be patient as development will get to them in no time as he charged workers on site to always have on their protective equipments. Some concerned Deltans who met the entourage, commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for doing a good job, but complained about the contractors being too slow at the pace of the contracts awarded them.
The Special Adviser, in response to the complaints raised, promised residents that work would be completed in no time and all corrections will be done, as according to him, “the Governor does not want any bad job at all. His Excellency want a very solid job.”
