Gov Oborevwori committed to road upgrades across Delta, says Bureau Chief
The Director General of the Delta State Orientation and Communications Bureau, Dr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, has emphasized that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is prioritizing the rehabilitation and reconstruction of roads in Sapele and across other local government areas in Delta State.
Addressing a recent incident involving a Sapele resident who bathed in stagnant, dirty water to protest poor road conditions, Dr. Oghenesivbe urged citizens to express their concerns in ways that do not jeopardize their health. He pointed out that exposure to contaminated water can lead to skin infections, eye irritation, and other health risks, emphasizing that safer means of attracting government attention are available.
“Citizens have a right to call for improvements in their communities, but engaging in self-endangering actions is inadvisable. Governor Oborevwori’s administration has already greenlighted the rehabilitation of over 15 kilometers of Sapele’s roads, including major routes like Orhorhor Road and Mr. Benjamin Aboneje Road,” Oghenesivbe explained.
Oghenesivbe further detailed that additional reconstruction projects in Sapele include Shell Road, Eseimoni Street, Major Brown Road, and sections of the Benin Road near GKS. He confirmed that these projects are part of a phased approach to addressing road infrastructure across Delta’s 25 local government areas.
Reflecting on efforts under the previous administration, Dr. Oghenesivbe highlighted completed projects such as Edegbrode/Eleme Road, Sapele/Warri Road, and Amukpe-Sapele Road, among others, as evidence of ongoing government commitment to infrastructural improvement.
The Bureau Chief also addressed the subsequent arrest of the protesting resident, clarifying that it was not ordered by Governor Oborevwori. “Law enforcement may have interpreted the act as a suicide attempt, which is illegal. Governor Oborevwori remains focused on his MORE Agenda for Delta, which will address infrastructure, healthcare, and economic needs throughout the state’s three senatorial districts.”
Dr. Oghenesivbe encouraged citizens, including opposition members, to engage constructively and acknowledge ongoing developmental efforts, emphasizing that Governor Oborevwori is committed to advancing Delta’s growth through a phased approach to infrastructure and community development.
