Governor Oborevwori Orders Repairs on East-West Road Collapse

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has ordered Julius Berger Nigeria Plc to begin immediate remedial work on the collapsed section of the East-West Road located at Agbarho in Ughelli North Local Government Area. This decision comes in response to the hardships experienced by motorists, residents, and businesses due to the road's failure after heavy rainfall led to erosion.

State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, announced this directive in a statement from Asaba. Although the East-West Road is owned by the Federal Government, Governor Oborevwori expressed concern for the difficulties faced by Deltans and other Nigerians using the road.

Aniagwu emphasized that the intervention reflects the administration's commitment to addressing urgent infrastructure challenges based on residents' needs. He noted the road's significance as a major economic corridor in the Niger Delta and assured that the remedial work would improve traffic flow and reduce hardship for road users.
