The Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, has promised to embark on more developmental projects come 2018.

He named the Sagbama/Ekeremor Road as one of the road projects that would get his attention, saying the road would be extended to Ekeremor town by December next year.



He said he had awarded the contract for electrification along the road from Ofoni in Sagbama Local Government Area to Ekeremor town, the headquarters of Ekeremor Local Government Area of the state.

This was according to a statement on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media Relations, Mr. Fidelis Soriwei.

According to Soriwei, Dickson said this when he took a ride in his car, accompanied by a convoy, on the newly sand-filled road to Aleibiri in Ekeremor Local Government Area to celebrate Christmas with the residents.

He said it was the first time in the last 40 years that a car would travel on the road, which was hitherto in a deplorable state.

“He (Dickson) vowed that the state government would ensure that a lane of the road was constructed to Ekeremor by December, 2018 to alleviate the suffering of the people.

“Dickson said while efforts were still ongoing to complete work on the ongoing project, it was crucial that no indigene of the area was made to travel by the waterways through Delta State to other parts of Bayelsa State.

“The governor said he decided to split the contract between the contractors for the purpose of speedy completion of the long-awaited road project,” the statement read partly.

Dickson urged the residents, especially the youths of the community, to organise themselves to ensure that criminal elements were not allowed to carry out acts that could slow the actualisation of the project.



“The governor also urged the members of the community to give the requisite support to the governing council, the rector, students and lecturers of the newly-established state polytechnic at Aleibiri,” the statement added.
