Oborevwori Paying Attention To Roads In Sapele, Other LGAs –Oghenesivbe

…Flay’s Act Of Bathing In Contaminated Water

DIRECTOR-General, Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr (Barr) Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, has said that the state Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori is paying adequate attention to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads in Sapele, and in all local government areas of the state.

He made the disclosure in reaction to the purported arrest of a Deltan in Sapele over his trending video on social media platforms, wherein he was sighted bathing in dirty road waters to attract government attention, saying that the young man ought to consider the health implication of his misguided action.

Dr Oghenesivbe affirmed the right of citizens to demand government interventions over dilapidated roads or infrastructural decay in their constituencies or Communities whenever the need arises, but that a situation where a citizen had to expose himself to possible health hazard to attract government attention is not acceptable, and must not be encouraged by any right thinking individual.  He said governor Oborevwori had in recent times approved the rehabilitation and reconstruction of over 15 kilometers of internal roads in Sapele town and it’s environ, including the reconstruction of Orhorhor road and Mr Benjamin Aboneje road, formerly Hardock road, while efforts are being made to reconstruct Okirighwre-Benin road.

Other roads approved for reconstruction by governor Oborevwori in Sapele, according to Dr Oghenesivbe, include; Shell road expansion, Eseimoni street and environs, Major Brown road and Benin road by GKS, among others, assuring that other unmotorable roads within Sapele shall be attended to in phases, while also attending to bad roads in the remaining 24 local government areas in the state.

The State Orientation and Communications Bureau DG further stated that during the immediate past administration of Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON, several roads were either rehabilitated or reconstructed in Sapele town and environs, including; Edegbrode/Eleme road, Sapele/Warri road, Amukpe roundabout by express to Okirighwre to AT&P roundabout, and Amukpe-Sapele road.

Other roads commissioned by Governor Okowa are; Laboard road linking Commercial avenue, Reclamation road, Omene road linking Crudas road, and Lawrence road which opened up the Timber Town, among others.

“The trending video of a young man bathing in dirty road water is distasteful, and should not be encouraged by any right thinking individual,” Oghenesivbe said.
