he Warri Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency (WUEDA), has disclosed that the first phase of storm drainage project to check flooding in the area will commence soon from Uvwie council area of the state.
The project was designed to channel flood water directly to the natural water reservoirs surrounding Warri, Uvwie and its environs.
The agency therefore urged youths in the affected communities to corporate with the contractor handling the project so as to finish the project in record time.
Director General of WUEDA, Comrade Ovouzuorie Macaulay said this in Warri during a meeting the agency had with community leaders and the contractor, (CCC Engineering Company) handling the project.
The project, according to Macaulay, is projected to be completed in 18 months, but warned that if the project is disrupted by anybody, it can drag up to four years and above.
He said this was the only time in the history of the state that a comprehensive plan has been developed to ensure that the issue of flooding in Warri, Uvwie and Environs is resolved once and for all.
"This is the only time there is going to be comprehensive work on drainage so that at the end of the day the issue of flood in these areas will be over.
"We are calling this meeting so that the leaders in Uvwie communities can familiarise themselves with the contractor handling the project so that at the end of the day the project will not be disrupted by anybody." Macaulay said.
