Umeh Road to be Commissioned February 14 - Uduaghan


Delta State Governor Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has announced that the newly completed Umeh Road in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State will be commissioned on Saturday 14th February 2015.

The Governor stated this in a post he personally made on Umeh Need Road Forum on Facebook, a Social Media Advocacy Group led by Barrister Duncan Afahokor. The Governor said in view of the postponement of elections on that date by INEC it has become very imperative that the much cherished Umeh road be commissioned on that very significant day.

According to Dr Uduaghan, "February 14th 2015 has been destined to be a significant date in history. Now that INEC has freed that date, we shall use it to commission Umeh road. Detail arrangements will be communicated by the appropriate officials. God bless Nigeria."

The 7.6 km Umeh Road was awarded to Construction Giants, Setraco Nigeria Limited at an initial cost of N3.62billion for a period of 18 months was initially delayed by floods which ravaged coastal communities in the state in 2012.

Governor Uduaghan in an interview during an unscheduled inspection of the project commended the people of Umeh for ensuring that the construction company’s operations were not hampered reiterating his commitment towards serving the people of the state selflessly.[/b][b]
