The Delta State Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has said the Asaba International Airport will be functional in the next four months.

Governor Okowa made the disclosure today (03/02/18) at Kwale during a meeting of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta North Senatorial District.

According to the Governor, his administration is committed to delivering dividends of democracy to Deltans, noting that the Asaba International Airport is very important to the socio-economic development of Delta State and neighboring states.

"I want to tell you that the contract for the construction of the Asaba Airport project has been awarded to Setraco; Setraco is a reputable company and in the last one week a lot of construction work has been witnessed in the airport," he said, adding, "the company have a mandate of four months to deliver the project; the amount that Setraco quoted for them to deliver the job was lesser than the amount the contract was awarded the former contractor."

The Governor who scored his administration high in project delivery, disclosed that his administration has mapped out a holistic programme to tackle flood in Asaba and Okpanam stating that while work has commenced in the construction of storm drains to check flood at the Direct Labour, Jesus Saves Roads, contract has also, been awarded for the construction of drains to check flooding of the Delta broadcasting Service, Mariam Babangida Way and Junior Staff quarters areas of the state capital while the contract to check flood water on Okpanam road will soon be awarded.

While noting that the construction of a multi-billion naira secretariat complex will check accommodation problems of Ministries, Department and Agencies, Governor Okowa thanked Deltans for their continual support.

He congratulated members of the PDP for the success recorded by the party in the January 6 local government elections and called for a more united PDP where there will be mutual respect and understanding.

Those who spoke at the meeting including the Chairman of the party in Delta North Senatorial District, Chief Moses Iduh commended Governor Okowa's administration for providing good governance which has given a boost to the fortunes of the party in the state.

I'm proud to be a deltan that's a great man we have as a governor

This guy is a terrible. The worst performing Governor in the entire country. Not a single road constructed in either Warri or Asaba. Not a single project despite all the billions.
His counterpart in Edo who has barely spent a year has more than 20 Times more than what Okowa has done in
Asaba airport that has long being completed and operating he is talking about awarding contract. Why not state what work is being done at the airport. What kind of useless leader is this??

Okowa is working

But wait ooo.... I thought the airport was functional na...abi is the governor upgrading the facilities?

Chai, so u know that Delta state like all other parts of Nigeria has suffered years of neglect which makes it cursed with bad leadership. So in just nearly 3 years these are the only projects u could count and say he is working. Yes I recalled he went to commission petrol station as a last project. Also, is Asaba the only place in Delta state? What about other parts of Delta. U can see ur cursed to see the cursed state of Delta state.
Really like I said in my previous statement Nigerians deserves the type of leadership they have, applauding mediocrity. When you are blessed and u can’t use that blessings to advance then u are cursed. That is what u and Delta state are together.

I don't really like this okowa of a guy

Four months, I shall come back to this thread in four months time.

U re welcome bro, apologies accepted. May God bless u.
If we all learnt to air our views without insulting d other even if the views of that person is not in line with what we think it’s right, nairaland would be a very peaceful forum for all.
Besides, I said what might have offended out of full conviction. I lived and worked in Asaba for almost 2years. I ve been to many parts of that state. As an oil producing state receiving very high allocation on a monthly basis, it should be one of the states to be proud of in d Niger-Delta. Sadly, Okowa himself has disappointed. Granted, he inherited debt from that short devil and rogue Uduaghan. Ibori d same thing. When I passed through Aladja steel project coupled with the road that leads the refinery in comatose around Tanker park area, I then became fully convinced beyond all doubt that not only Delta state but the entire Nigeria is jinxed, cursed and sadly no hope. Because we can’t operate same system and expect a different outcome. I am a Nigerian like u are, our country is indeed a shiithole as Trump called it.

kk nw
