NDDC- Road linking nine communities between Rivers and Bayelsa states is set to be ready

    A critical road linking nine communities between Rivers and Bayelsa states is set to be ready for use before the end of the year.

   According to reports, the road runs between Otuasega in Ogbia Local Council Area of Bayelsa State through Obedum and Emelego in Abua-Odual Council of Rivers State.
   The new Executive Director of projects of the reconstituted Niger Delta Development Commission ,NDDC, Samuel Adjogbe, who disclosed the news observed that the regional road was very important because it would help the people of the area to evacuate their agricultural produce to the cities for sale.
   He gave the assurance when he led a team of directors and engineers to inspect the regional road as part of the Commission’s drive to complete all on-going projects in the Niger Delta.
   Adjogbe, said residents of the nine communities along the route were predominantly farmers who were daily confronted with the challenges of conveying their farm produce to urban areas.
   The NDDC assured the residents that the 23.5-kilometre road and bridges linking the two sister states would definitely be completed this year.
