The Ikpoba-Okha local government Chairman, Dr. Eric Osayande, on Monday, made an on-the-spot tour on failed portions of Upper Mission Extension, Ben Imade, and the entire stretch of the road, to ascertain the level of palliative intervention to be carried out on the roads in the area.
While inspecting the areas in Ward 4 of the LGA, Osayande, noted that his administration will continue to intervene at the Council level on critical areas deserving attention.
Besides, he promised to always present the issues in the local government area deserving the attention of the state government, to the governor for long-term solutions.
“I am here to see the level of work to be done on these roads; I have received calls from affected residents, and as a government, I feel compelled to intervene at the Council level; we will immediately flag-off palliative works on these portions for the meantime, while we work to get the state government for a long-term intervention.
“I have directed the Council Engineer to immediately embark on needs assessment, after which a major palliative work will commence on the roads”, Osayande added.
Recall that last weekend, the Ikpoba-Okha local government Chairman carried out a major erosion-control palliative works on Uyiosa, Upper Sakponba Road, Ward 8 of the local government area, a move that has gained significant applauds from motorists and members of the public.
With the Chairman on the roads inspection tour, were the Vice Chairman, Hon. Osamuyi Idehen, Leader of the legislative arm, Hon. Kingsley Balogban, Secretary to Local Government, Barr. Osagie Igbinomwanhia.
Councilor, Ward 4, Hon. Esosa Odia-Nosa and other members of the Ward were on ground to receive the Chairman and his entourage.
