From Owen Akenzua, Asaba
Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori has been commended for his numerous legacy infrastructural projects.
Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze gave the commendation yesterday during the inspection of Edo Road, off Ughelli-Asaba Expressway, Ughelli.
Izeze said the project was one of the new roads conceived by Oborevwori’s administration to decongest traffic at the busy Otowodo junction in Ughelli.
He expressed delight with the quality of work done by the contractor, adding that over the years, Obakpor Engineering Limited had become a reference point for indigenous engineering firms in the state.
According to him, “This is the third time we are coming to inspect this project and I must say that the quality of the finishing that has been done on the rigid pavement so far is actually very good.
“I love the aesthetics of what I have seen, considering the fact that I was here earlier when the reinforcements were being laid.
“I can affirm that the reinforcements were to specification as provided in the Bill of Engineering Measurement and of course, are also in tandem with what was provided in the Bill of Quantities.”
Representative of the contracting firm, Mr Oghenero Oguma said the project is expected to be completed by the end of December.
The commissioner also inspected the ongoing construction of Okowa Crescent in Ughelli where he told the ministry engineers to intensify supervisory role on the project.
