By Patriot Dantes Odogwu.
By virtue of its overall strategic importance to the socioeconomic wellbeing of any given society, it's doubtful whether any meaningful progress can be attained in an environment devoid of motorable roads and highways.
For instance, motorable roads are very crucial to the movement of humans and agricultural goods from the hinterlands and villages to the urban centres where populations require them for existential survival.
Same also goes for industrial activities wherein large volumes of raw materials and finished products are transported to and fro without the parties involved having to contend with the avoidable financial hassles or costs and physical / mental inconveniences associated with bad and deplorable road networks.
If there is any recurring or noticeable desire among Deltans, it is the need to have a well- charted network of roads,highways,streets and lanes cascading the length and breath of the State. This fortunately is indeed a legitimate and rewarding desire that constitutes a major bedrock of the SMART Agenda of the State Government.
We are not unaware of the cynicism of naysayers who are sometimes unduly appalled concerning the reasons that Gov Okowa has deliberately decided to put much focus on road construction.
We are however also glad that these cynics agree that such focus of His Excellency on roads has in no manner portrayed any disproportionate or neglectful attention on the other critical Sectors. All the same, these cynics have to appreciate that Okowa is one leader who comprehends the importance or place of roads to the social,economic, physiological and psychological wellbeing of the electorate.
To the incurably humane Governor, our car owners and transporters should not be sentenced to repeated or customary visits to spare part dealers and mechanic workshops owing to the deplorable state of our roads. Needless to say too, His Excellency is aware that such avoidable visits end up placing undue pressure on the already overstretched and depleted finances of the victims who suffer like most other Nigerians from the economic recession that has hit citizens and even the Governments of Nigeria.
Under the SMART Agenda, Deltan and Federal roads are critical to the Vision to make Delta State an industrial hub of the South South region.
It is actually the desire of Gov Okowa to ensure that industrialists, agricultural entrepreneurs ( including those from the STEP and YAGEP ),artisans etc are able to move raw materials and finished products with ease no matter where they are located across the State.
Remarkably too,the spread of road construction by the current State Government has been adjudged and hailed by many as very equitably and fairly distributed and equally tailored to the peculiarities of the terrains wherein they are situated.
The simple explanation is that Gov Okowa being an ardent pan- Deltan, is driven unrepentantly with the consciousness that all nooks and crannies of the three Senatorial Districts deserve the dividends of Democracy which include motorable roads.
The Okowa administration is also irrevocably committed to executing projects which are capable of standing the test of time and in the light of this, any contractor found. doing shoddy jobs will be blacklisted regardless of the number of kilometres of roads already executed.
During the Ministerial Press Briefing held in Asaba in the month of April, 2018, the indefatigable Commissioner for Works, Chief James Augoye had gladly informed the audience that the
Delta State Government has embarked on the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
and maintenance of 208 road projects in three years.
According to the Honourable Commissioner, the State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has approved and awarded the construction of 193 road projects covering over 732km and 229km of concrete drains between May 2015 and March 2018.
He further noted that the seeming increase and pace of new projects across the State stemmed mainly from the large rates of approval and award of projects across the State by the current administration; adding that the number of inherited projects from the previous administrations also have led to the increase in the number o ongoing projects.
His words: “Of the figure, 92 roads covering over 350km have been completed, while 116 roads are at various stages of completion.”
Indeed,going by the unprecedented avalanche of roads being witnessed across the State, it obviously behoves on us as residents of the State to imbibe the appropriate maintenance culture by ensuring that we desist from dumping refuse in the drains in order to prolong the life span of these roads. More so, it is our collective wish that agencies of Government saddled with the upkeep,supervision and maintenance of our roads,drainage works be penalised if found wanting.
At this juncture, I think it is somewhat necessary for me to itemize some of these roads constructed by the State Government ( many of which are already completed,Ongoing or recently awarded ) in order to afford readers the privilege of having a pictorial grasp and appreciation of the laudable achievements of Gov Okowa's Government especially in the Transportation Sector .

By Patriot Dantes Odogwu.
By virtue of its overall strategic importance to the socioeconomic wellbeing of any given society, it's doubtful whether any meaningful progress can be attained in an environment devoid of motorable roads and highways.
For instance, motorable roads are very crucial to the movement of humans and agricultural goods from the hinterlands and villages to the urban centres where populations require them for existential survival.
Same also goes for industrial activities wherein large volumes of raw materials and finished products are transported to and fro without the parties involved having to contend with the avoidable financial hassles or costs and physical / mental inconveniences associated with bad and deplorable road networks.
If there is any recurring or noticeable desire among Deltans, it is the need to have a well- charted network of roads,highways,streets and lanes cascading the length and breath of the State. This fortunately is indeed a legitimate and rewarding desire that constitutes a major bedrock of the SMART Agenda of the State Government.
We are not unaware of the cynicism of naysayers who are sometimes unduly appalled concerning the reasons that Gov Okowa has deliberately decided to put much focus on road construction.
We are however also glad that these cynics agree that such focus of His Excellency on roads has in no manner portrayed any disproportionate or neglectful attention on the other critical Sectors. All the same, these cynics have to appreciate that Okowa is one leader who comprehends the importance or place of roads to the social,economic, physiological and psychological wellbeing of the electorate.
To the incurably humane Governor, our car owners and transporters should not be sentenced to repeated or customary visits to spare part dealers and mechanic workshops owing to the deplorable state of our roads. Needless to say too, His Excellency is aware that such avoidable visits end up placing undue pressure on the already overstretched and depleted finances of the victims who suffer like most other Nigerians from the economic recession that has hit citizens and even the Governments of Nigeria.
Under the SMART Agenda, Deltan and Federal roads are critical to the Vision to make Delta State an industrial hub of the South South region.
It is actually the desire of Gov Okowa to ensure that industrialists, agricultural entrepreneurs ( including those from the STEP and YAGEP ),artisans etc are able to move raw materials and finished products with ease no matter where they are located across the State.
Remarkably too,the spread of road construction by the current State Government has been adjudged and hailed by many as very equitably and fairly distributed and equally tailored to the peculiarities of the terrains wherein they are situated.
The simple explanation is that Gov Okowa being an ardent pan- Deltan, is driven unrepentantly with the consciousness that all nooks and crannies of the three Senatorial Districts deserve the dividends of Democracy which include motorable roads.
The Okowa administration is also irrevocably committed to executing projects which are capable of standing the test of time and in the light of this, any contractor found. doing shoddy jobs will be blacklisted regardless of the number of kilometres of roads already executed.
During the Ministerial Press Briefing held in Asaba in the month of April, 2018, the indefatigable Commissioner for Works, Chief James Augoye had gladly informed the audience that the
Delta State Government has embarked on the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation
and maintenance of 208 road projects in three years.
According to the Honourable Commissioner, the State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has approved and awarded the construction of 193 road projects covering over 732km and 229km of concrete drains between May 2015 and March 2018.
He further noted that the seeming increase and pace of new projects across the State stemmed mainly from the large rates of approval and award of projects across the State by the current administration; adding that the number of inherited projects from the previous administrations also have led to the increase in the number o ongoing projects.
His words: “Of the figure, 92 roads covering over 350km have been completed, while 116 roads are at various stages of completion.”
Indeed,going by the unprecedented avalanche of roads being witnessed across the State, it obviously behoves on us as residents of the State to imbibe the appropriate maintenance culture by ensuring that we desist from dumping refuse in the drains in order to prolong the life span of these roads. More so, it is our collective wish that agencies of Government saddled with the upkeep,supervision and maintenance of our roads,drainage works be penalised if found wanting.
At this juncture, I think it is somewhat necessary for me to itemize some of these roads constructed by the State Government ( many of which are already completed,Ongoing or recently awarded ) in order to afford readers the privilege of having a pictorial grasp and appreciation of the laudable achievements of Gov Okowa's Government especially in the Transportation Sector .
