More Prospect for East-West Road as Chief Ollor Engage Fashola, RCC and Others..

- Work to Commence Soon..

The lingering uncertainties surrounding the commencement of work on the Eleme Axis of the East-West road will soon be a foregone issue following a recent engagement between the Executive Chairman of Eleme LGA Council Chief Hon Obarilomate Ollor, the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Raji Fashola and the
Managing Director/CEO of Reynolds Construction Company Nigeria Limited R.C.C Engr. Nader Yusuf in Abuja.

Chief Ollor who expressed disappointment over the negligence on the part of the Federal government and the lingering uncertainties surrounding the commencement of work on the dilapidated section of the East
-West road insisted on the immediate deployment of the contractor to site to ease the suffering of road users.

Chief Ollor questioned why a significant project of that magnitude is still been delayed after been transferred from Niger Delta ministry to ministry of works and also the recent directive by President Muhammadu Buhari assigning the funding of the project to NNPC.

In his response, The Honourable Minister of Works Babatunde Fashola called for calm noting that there are more prospects for the East-West despite the delay. He assured the Chairman of Federal Government's commitment to a lasting solution as further reviews have been done to include 15 kilometers drainage on both sides of the road and the addition of more lanes.

Fashola expressed hope that Federal Executive Council in a short while will make necessary approvals for the commencement of work.
This according to him is to avoid a repeat of what transpired previously were the contractor was mobilized to site but later pulled out.

According to him, the necessary paperwork are ready and will be presented to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approval so the contractor can move to site for both palliative and full-scale work to commence respectively.

He stated that the idea behind the palliative work is to make the road passable, ease the suffering of road users and reduce the influx of vehicles through the communities while full-scale work will be ongoing.

Chief Ollor also extended his engagement to the head office of Reynolds Construction Company Nigeria Limited R.C.C in Abuja and was received by the Managing Director/CEO Engr. Nader Yusuf.

Engr. Nader Yusuf assured the Chairman of his readiness to mobilize his team to site as soon as he gets the needed attention from the federal government through the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.

Those present at the meeting include: The Hon. Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Raji Fashola. Hon.Minister of State Umar I. El-Yakub.
Engr Uzor.Ag.Permanent Secretary
Engr.Esan Director construction & Rehabilitation.

This same road that's almost immotorable now. Starting from Eleme junction to Akpajo is a deadtrap.

Everytime work is commencing soon.

Very terrible road. A road that generates billions to the federal coffers, from the Onne region to Eleme.

To imagine that such road can be left in such deplorable state.
God forbid this country. Its not where you should even see yourself in the dream talk more of real life.

Buhari, wike and akpabio should all Bury their head in shame. Playing politics with the lives of people plying that road everyday. Worst of it, an army checkpoint, police checkpoint, FRSC all at the same spot welcomes you to the worst section of that road causing long traffic and compounding the sufferings
