I will push hard for the execution of Ugbo-Oghoye, Agadagba-Obon Road Projects, Ondo NDDC Commissioner, Otito Atikase reassures
The Representative of Ondo State on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Hon Otito Atikase has stated that the long abandoned Ugbo-Oghoye road and Agadagba- Obon bridge were part of his top priorities as he had already started taking proactive steps towards actualisation of abandoned projects in the Niger Delta area of the State.
The Commissioner who fielded questions from a radio programme, “Situation Room” aired on Positive FM at Akure recently, expressed worry over the spate of abandoned NDDC projects in Ondo State.
According to him, “the situation whereby contractors take Mobilisation on contracts and go away with such money would no longer be tolerated as the commission had concluded plans on the necessary steps to be taken to avert such occurrences.”
He pointed out that the Ugbo-Oghoye Road, which is the strategic link between Ondo and Delta States, when completed would catalyse rapid economic growth and foster development in the Ilaje Communities, while the Agadagba-Obon bridge which is the link between the Ijaws of Ondo State and other parts of the state would also boost economic activities in that area.
Atikase said we shall explore possible synergies towards the actualisation of these and other projects.”
The Ondo State Representatives also said that the avalanche of abandoned projects in the state would be completed as arrangements were already in place in order to ensure that all Contractors move back to site.
On the forthcoming party primary, he said he had no prefered candidate and that he would be willing to work with any candidate that emerges on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He called on APC members to be up and doing and to remain committed to the ideals of the party.
