Okpebholo vows to reclaim flooded areas
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has vowed to reclaim all areas flooded by erosion and repair affected roads during an inspection tour of projects.
The Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has promised to reclaim all the areas flooded by erosion caused by heavy rain, assuring residents that roads in the affected areas would also be repaired.
The governor stated this on Monday during an inspection tour of road projects as part of activities to mark his second anniversary on November 12.
He said the inspection was to determine how the flooded areas could be reclaimed, noting that the road from Ekhewan water retention to Gelegele would be repaired to make life easier for residents of the area.
He added, “When I came to this area, there was no road that was completed, and now, under my government, I have ensured that the road is completed. I will also make sure that the ponds in the area are completed to stop flooding in the area.”
At the flyover under construction in Adesuwa on Sapele Road, Okpebholo told the contractors to ensure that the project is completed in January next year.
The governor also visited the RCC junction, Ogheghe bypass and the old Sapele Road, which have either been completed or are nearing completion.
He then proceeded to Ikpoba Hill and Tempoga to inspect drainage and road projects, linking the Ramat Park flyover through Lucky Way, from where the entourage connected to the completed Amufi road.
