Okowa: Road construction remains my priority

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has said that road construction remains his priority and will continue to award construction of roads to link communities till his last day in office.

 

 

Okowa who spoke through his Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stated this on Tuesday shortly after the Executive Council meeting, where he approved a 30km road project.

 

 

He said, “The State Executive Council meeting presided by Governor Okowa, in a bid to finish strong, approved construction of many roads.

 

 

“Some of the road projects include 2.05km Kokodiagbene Road in Warri south-West; 10.85km Ute-Okpu/Ute-Enugu Road in Ika North-East and 1.5km Ovie Palace Road in Mosogar, Ethiope West.
