The Delta Commissioner for Works, Mr Funkekeme Solomon, said the government had embarked on 851 projects at N225 billion across the state to improve socio-economic life of the people.
Solomon who announced this in Asaba at the inauguration of some of the projects to mark the 2013 Democracy Day, said that nine roads covering 11 kilometres had been completed at N3.7 billion.

The commissioner said government was determined to improve the living standard of the people through rapid development and transformation of every part of the state.
