Eradiri Challenges Duke on Niger Delta Infrastructure Issues
Engr. Udengs Eradiri, the Media Director of the Tinubu Support Group in Bayelsa State, criticized former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke regarding his remarks on the challenges of building infrastructure in the Niger Delta. Eradiri argued that the region's riverine and swampy terrain can be addressed through engineering, adequate funding, and sustained government commitment.
He referenced the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and ongoing road projects in Bayelsa as examples of successful infrastructure development in difficult environments. Eradiri, a former President of the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, emphasized that engineering and governance can overcome challenging terrains.
He pointed out that the federal government's interventions in road infrastructure towards Brass and Agge could enhance transportation and connectivity. Eradiri attributed some infrastructure progress in Bayelsa to increased revenue allocations following the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu, asserting that political will is crucial for development in the region.
