Community Tasks NDDC On Abandoned Road Project

The people of Bien Gwara community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State have appealed to the management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to complete the abandoned Gwara Laalaa road project awarded over five years ago.
The Paramount Ruler of the community, Mene Macdonald Nwiyor made the appeal while speaking with The Tide in an interview at his palace, last weekend.
The paramount ruler, disclosed that the road which was awarded to Snow Integrated Services, an indigenous construction firm had remained in a deplorable state, as the contractor is virtually at large.
He said the people suffer unfold pains due to the bad state of the road, especially during the rainy seasons, and urged NDDC to call on the contractor to return to site.
The Royal father, who is also the chairman of the Gwara Council of Chiefs and Elders, said the abandoned road project was a major route to the economic base of the people, noting that if completed, it will stimulate a thriving rural economy and stem, unnecessary urban migration on the part of the youth”.
