 GOVERNOR DIRI ASSURES HIGH CONSTRUCTION COSTS WILL NOT STOP PROJECTS



Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has said the high cost of construction materials will not deter his administration’s commitment to development of the state.


The governor also said ongoing projects were a priority of the government and assured that cost variations will not affect them.


He stated this during an unscheduled inspection visit to both the Nembe-Brass and the Yenagoa-Oporoma-Ukubie road projects.


While appreciating the Federal Government for its commitment to partner the state on the project, Governor Diri explained that he had met President Bola Tinubu twice and that he had directed the Federal Ministry of Works to collaborate with the state government on construction of the second phase of the road.


The state’s helmsman expressed satisfaction with the pace of work on the twenty-one kilometers first phase of the project, which has ten bridges, saying in this second tenure, he looks forward to vehicles driving to Brass town.


While noting that the rehabilitation work on the failed portions of the Ogbia-Nembe road had stopped, Governor Diri called on the Niger Delta Development Commission, which embarked on the remedial work before last year’s governorship election, to ensure it is completed.


In a remark, the Setraco Project Manager in charge of Bayelsa and Delta state, Mr. Joseph Cosme, explained that the company had achieved sixty-five percent sand-filling of the road while almost two point five kilometers of the sand-cement and stone-base had been completed.


While inspecting the Yenagoa-Oporoma-Ukubie road project, the governor dispelled insinuations that his administration continued the Bayelsa Central Senatorial District road due to political consideration.


Speaking at the bridge construction site at Angiama community, Governor Diri described the road as crucial to development of the state, saying it is unthinkable for the headquarters of the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area not to be accessible by road.
