“These roads are to link communities, which means it will ease the movement of agricultural produce from one community to another. We are continuing with the approval of projects, not just to enable us to finish strong, but also, to reach several rural communities and urbanise them.
“Governor Okowa is committed to constructing roads even to the last minutes of the administration.”
Aniagwu also disclosed that the Executive Council approved the upgrade of sports facilities in the state including building hockey pitches, hostels, and others.
“You are aware that the Delta State is hosting the National Sports Festival in the last quarter of this year, so, all the facilities in the state are to upgrade,” he added.
