ASABA—DELTA State Commissioner for Information, Mr Patrick Ukah, yesterday, said that the state government will resume work on the N40 billion Trans Warri-Ode-Itsekiri road project awarded to Setraco Nigeria Limited in 2006 by former Governor James Ibori and continued by the immediate past governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The road which connects several communities in Warri South and other local government areas, has 19 bridges with 10 already completed by the Chief Ibori and Dr Uduaghan administrations, adding that N16 billion had been paid by the previous administrations.
Noting that the state government had approved the construction of the bridges and access roads (completion of 12.8 km main alignment), he said that the project has been reviewed to N7.6 billion due to the economic crunch.
He said that the state government will commence work on the project after the rains, adding that the state government has also awarded contract for the construction of Idheze by–pass to Okpe–Isoko, the rehabilitation of Aviara/Okpame Road and construction of Okpare/Okpawa Road in Isoko South LGA.
Also approved, according to the commissioner, who was accompanied to the media briefing by his Works counterpart, Chief James Augoye, are the repudiation of contract for the construction of 132 KV DC and Delta State Grid Transmission line from Afiesere to Ozoro.
Ukah added that the state government has sacked Chief Ikpahwo Uroroke as Regent of Okpolo Enwhe in Isoko South LGA and appointed Chief Ayeghemese Otidi as Regent-Elect (Oba), of the Kingdom.
