Barely 15 days to the end of the present administration’s tenure, the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved four different roads totaling N31billion for the Niger Delta.

Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Steve Oru, disclosed this at the end of the weekly FEC meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

According to earlier briefings by the Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, the Wednesday meeting was the last one during which projects can be approved while a valedictory session would be held next week.

Oru said the four roads are in Bayelsa, Ondo and Delta States.

The minister said the construction of Zarama-Okodia Iseme road in Yenagoa Local Government Area in Bayelsa State was awarded in the sum of N5. 923billion with a completion period of 18 months.

He added that the construction of Agadagba-Akotoko -Iyasa-Ovia Road and bridge in Irele Local government of Ondo State was awarded in the sum of N15.628billion while the construction of Amasoma-Egbedi Road in Kolokuma Okpokuma Local Government of Bayelsa was awarded in the sum of N2.767 billion with a completion period of 18 months.

The fourth road is the Ofagbe Udeze-Ozoro Road with a spur from Ovwie to Aba road in Isoko North, Isoko South Local Government Areas of Delta State which was awarded in the sum of N6.7bn.

Good! After all, the Niger Delta people deserve good roads too. Temitemi will say "GEJ my HERO, FAYOSE my ROLE MODEL"

.

When APC cried out this man got a mission to empty the "country's pockets" before leaving some aggrieved TANoids were shouting propaganda, was he blind 5years ago that he couldnt award all this last minute projects?? why must it be now....

I still maintain my stand that the funds embezzled by this administration alone would sustain nigeria till the next 4years without touching a dime from the oil sector and others. (Not saying others aint corrupt) But by the time funds are being recovered from the thieves in this administration alone, you will surely see Abacha as a saint

Too late
