The Delta State Government has at last given a time frame for completion of Ughell-Asaba expressway which was started several years ago.

This was revealed by Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu while on Channels TV live programme on Monday, January 3.

Aniagwu disclosed that the state government would in addition to the expressway, complete other key road projects which include; the interchange at Koka Junction Asaba, Beneku bridge, Orerhe bridge as well as other community roads under construction.

He said the state’s N479 billion budget for 2022 was aimed at completing all ongoing projects across the state. He assured that the Okowa administration would take advantage of the budget to complete ongoing projects across the state.

The commissioner noted that road construction, building of schools, hospitals, job creation and other projects were tagged as priority in the 2022 budget.

“In 2022, we shall focus more attention on road construction building and expanding facilities in our schools and hospitals and these expenditures would take a larger chunk of the capital side of the budget while the recurrent will largely remain what it has been.

“We will be completing a number of key roads, the dualisation of Asaba to Ughelli and Interchange at Koka Junction Asaba, Beneku bridge, Orerhe bridge as well as other community roads being constructed.

“In terms of schools we are going to expand facilities particularly building of more classroom blocks, across the 25 local government areas.

“The same applies to a number of hospitals being constructed and we also have three new universities that we established last year and we are expanding the facilities in these universities,” Aniagwu said.
