Delta State Executive Council has approved the rehabilitation and asphalt overlay of the Olu Palace Road and other roads.
The approval was part of a series of road construction and rehabilitation projects aimed at improving infrastructure and boosting economic activities across the state.
Apart from the construction of Orugboh road in Warri South local government area, the council also approved the release of N6.7 billion as the state’s counterpart funding to access the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) grant for educational development.
The approvals, which were announced at the end of the state exco meeting presided over by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in Asaba are part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to enhance road connectivity in urban and rural communities, while also strengthening the basic education sector.
The commissioner for works (rural roads) and public information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, told journalists that the road projects cut across the three senatorial districts and include both new constructions and major rehabilitations with a focus on economic viability, accessibility and long-term durability.
