Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has inspected some on-going road and market projects in Sapele and Okpe Local Government Areas in the state.
Governor Okowa was accompanied by the Commissioner for Works, James Augoye, Commissioner for Information, Patrick Ukah, Commissioner for Housing, Joseph Ogeh and the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mary Iyasere on Thursday.
The Governor urged the contracting firms especially indigenous construction firms to justify government’s confidence in them.
He decried the slow pace of work at some of the road projects and urged the construction firms to speed up their pace to meet the project specifications and time schedule.
Governor Okowa, however, promised to embark on regular inspection of projects in the state to ensure strict adherence to set standards.
Members of the Community also expressed their gratitude to the Governor for the development of roads in their community.
While promising that the rural communities would feel the impact of government in the distribution of projects, Governor Okowa explained that his administration has worked out modalities for the funding of projects to a completion and as such, no project would be abandoned.
