Ishaku Rates Okowa High Over Quality Projects
Taraba State Governor, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku, has described his Delta State counterpart, Senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as one of the best governors in Nigeria, for providing meaningful, people oriented, quality development projects across the State.
Governor Ishaku made the observation when he commissioned two key road projects with drainages in Asaba, Oshimili South and Okpanam in Oshimili North local government areas of Delta State, respectively.
Governor Ishaku, who was accompanied on the commissioning visit by Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau, Taraba North and Speaker of Taraba State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Joseph Albasu Kunini, described Governor Okowa as a testimony to the quality of leaders produced by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Among road projects commissioned, was the 3.30km reconstructed Jesus Saves/Agric/Onweugbuzia alternative roads constructed by CCECC Nig. Ltd in Asaba, Oshimili South Local Government Area.
The other commissioned road project in Oshimili North Local Government Area was 3.1km Okpanam/Asaba dualized carriage road Section II with 6.8km and 8.8mtrs of drainage on either side, originally awarded to Tatrix Engineering Ltd in 2013 and later reviewed and constructed by the Okowa administration in 2018.
Speaking earlier at the venues of the commissioning, Governor Okowa said that the successful completion of the road projects had alleviated the suffering of residents in the areas that had been affected by flooding.
He commended both Asaba and Okpanam people for providing the enabling environment for the execution and completion of the key road projects.
“They used to be bad and difficult terrains. In trying to achieve an underground sewer, I was scared many houses would go under but with the expertise of the contractors the situation was averted.”
In their separate addresses, the Oshimili South Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Kelvin Ezenyeli and his Oshimili North Council counterpart, Hon. Innocent Esewezie, expressed utmost appreciation and promised to contribute their quota to sustain the ongoing development programme of the Governor Okowa-led administration to attain the stronger Delta agenda.
Also, during the project inauguration at Okpanam, King Michael Mbanefo, Ugoani of Okpanam applauded Governor Okowa for his commitment to service, considering the numerous people-oriented projects across Delta State.
