To ensure total adherence to the Delta State Government’s commitment to delivering high quality infrastructure, the Director General of Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA), Chief Patrick Ukah Thursday, March 6, 2025 conducted inspections of various road projects in the capital Territory with a demand on contractors handling the road work to set up a work plan according to specifications.
The inspection was to assess the progress, quality, and alignment of these projects with the Government infrastructure policies.
During the inspection, key locations visited included:
. Ogbeogonogo Market water storm drainage project down to Ogbeilo through Ogbeke Square.
.Okonweze Street project off Ezeni Avenue;
.Construction of Odozi Obodo/Aninta/Anenta Street off Ezeni Avenue; and the rehabilitation of Jarret Street and construction of part of Kano Street/ Okocha Street, off Dennis Osadebay Way, Asaba.
Ukah commended the engineers for their unwavering dedication and adherence to high standards. He encouraged the team to maintain their momentum to ensure timely completion of these projects.
While addressing the press Ukah said: “To the level of work done so far that I’ve seen, I can Indeed say there is great progress with the on going projects of which the rehabilitation of Jarret Street and construction of part of Kano Street/Okocha Street, is 95% ready for commissioning. Okonweze Street off Ezeni Avenue will be ready before the ending of March 2025 but Odozi obodo might probably stretch till April but so far he is happy with the nature of the job.
“Through the technical inspection, we have identified some gaps and funding challenges which are addressed. I commend the contractors for a good job and urged them to work towards timely completion of the projects.” he said.
Ukah, however, decried the indiscriminate release of water by residents and hotel owners on some section of the Odozi Obodo Road and drainage, noting that the trend was inimical to sustainable road infrastructure development.
” It is disappointing to see some people are destroying the roads and drainage in the name of businesses, they should observe the right way.
“The government will not condone the act and it must stop, he said.
