He assured the monarch that his administration would continue to prioritize the development of the state capital, citing ongoing road projects, stormwater drainage works re-awarded to CCECC, the resurfacing of Nnebisi Road with streetlights, and the construction of more internal roads under the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency.
Governor Oborevwori also disclosed that the federal government had awarded the reconstruction of the Summit Junction–Head Bridge axis of the Benin–Asaba Highway to Heartland Construction Company, with his administration supporting compensation payments for those affected by the Second Niger Bridge road project.
Reiterating his commitment to inclusivity and sustainable development, the governor urged the people of Asaba to extend their goodwill to President Bola Tinubu, stressing the importance of political alignment at the federal level to attract more development to Delta State.
Asaba is the face of our state, and we must continue to make it beautiful and secure. Working together with our traditional rulers and communities, we will deliver more projects and ensure peace and progress in our state,” he added.
