THE Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, has said the state government would pay great attention to linking communities in the state with good roads.
Speaking at Asaba, when the traditional ruler of Abala Kingdom, Ndokwa East Local Government Area of the state, HRM Obi Fredrick Egbunkonye, led his subjects to pay him a courtesy visit, Onyeme noted that good road network was important to the socio-economic life of the people.
He said: “Access roads are very important to any community. Without access roads, all that you are doing may not yield desired results as you cannot send your products to places where they are needed.
“I can assure that Governor Sheriff Oborevwor’s administration is taking road construction very important in the delivery of the MORE agenda.
“If the link roads to communities are too long, we can break them into phases, but we will pay great attention to linking our communities with good roads.”
Earlier, HRM Obi Egbunkonye, congratulated the deputy governor on his successful assumption of office.
He called on the state government to construct the link road to Abala Kingdom, check the erosion, which is threatening his kingdom, and make early provision for people who would be affected by flood.
