Delta Govt To Repair Federal Roads
Delta State government has announced its resolve to repair “failing” Federal Government roads in the state and send the bill to the relevant authorities for settlement.
The Director General of the state’s Direct Labour Agency (DLA), Mr Odafe Igbini, disclosed this in Asaba on Saturday while discussing the state of roads in the state in “Na So We See Am”, a Delta Broadcasting Service radio programme.
He said the state was adopting the measure due to the deplorable state of some of the roads, which, had accounted for many accidents that claimed lives of indigenes.
Igbini said the state government would not wait endlessly for Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, FERMA to fix the roads while its citizens got involved daily in accidents due to the poor state of the roads.
He said DLA had been holding dialogue with FERMA in the state but had discovered that the organisation had constraints that were slowing down its operations.
“We are going to continue to fix the federal roads in the state,’’ he said.
“The reason is that our people are dying daily on the roads and we cannot continue to wait for FERMA or the Federal Government till it is convenient for them to fix them.
“We will repair the roads to the extent that our funds will carry and we will give the bill to the governor to send to Abuja.
“I know that the President will approve the refund because he will not be happy to see or hear that people in Delta are dying in accidents due to the deplorable state of the roads.’’
