Sorrow state of Delta roads: Why Okowa must work or resign – Omes Ogedegbe

State News




I must be very modest in my letter to you in view of the undeniable fact you are the first citizen of the state until the contrary. This letter has become necessary owing to the lack of visionary leadership pattern that have bedevilled this administration which at best could be likened to a bus beingroads driven by a drunk driver heading the wrong direction with the avalanche of passengers possibly drunk also or mere sycophants urging him on.

Otherwise how do one explain it that in Delta state an agency (DLA) receives allocation more than almost all other ministries in the state for the purpose of repairs and rehabilitation of state roads and while the chairman resumes in his Asaba office at will, possibly to drink tea and share the allocation in line with the governor’s disbursement formulae, our roads are fast wearing off.

For the purpose of reference, the NPA express Road has become a one track lane as the lane leading to the NPA from DBS is terribly bad likewise the adjoining leading to the Eagle roundabout from Ugbowagwe. The Otokutu/Egbo Road is fast become an abandoned area as a visit to the area leaves an impression of a town with boundary disputes likewise the Uti Street that links the popular PTI road which makes one wonder if these areas are part of our state. The face of Delta i.e the Effurun roundabout about by the state shopping mall is an apology beside others too numerous to mention.




Sadly, outside Warri cum Effurun and environs is no better as who would have imagined that Asaba the state capital will still be a fading shadow. The only Road Frank Enekorogha the D.G of the agency is constructing presently only leads to his abandoned Okwukokor hotel in Okpe local government area that’s all.
Mr. Governor have you not wondered while past governors/political office holders are afflicted with terminal diseases. This no doubt is as a result of negative prayers for diversion of their collective wealth.
Why pay Frank Enekorogha and his jobless crew for doing nothing while we suffer their non performance. This is practical, do not rely on your cyber employees. I challenge you to take a trip and you will pity Deltans. While you do that don’t read newspapers or make phone calls so you can observe and see you have truly failed in providing this basic necessity and not able to improve on the roads situation or able to sustain them. Due to the terrible Road conditions, your agency have rendered our own Stephen Dieseruwe led DESTMA redundant as they stand hapless in the face of massive and justified traffic violation occasioned by our terribly bad roads and should this trend continues you can not justify the salaries and allowances you are receiving now as governor.
