Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori, said on Thursday that his administration would continue to patronise competent indigenous contractors while also engaging foreign ones for critical projects.<\/p>\n

Gov Oborevwori disclosed this during the inspection of some completed and ongoing projects in Ika North East and Aniocha South local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n

The projects inspected include the faculties of Engineering and Environmental Sciences at the University of Delta (UNIDEL), Owa-Alero campus, Ute-Okpu-Ute-Enugu Road, and Isheagu-Ewulu Road.<\/p>\n

He commended the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Okowa, for initiating the projects, adding that his administration would continue to consolidate existing projects while also initiating new ones.<\/p>\n

Oborevwori said: \u201cThis particular road connects all the villages around this area. There is another village down the road called Ewulu; the road will boost commerce in the communities on this route.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy with the work done so far. The contractor has assured us that between now and December, the asphalting of the road will be completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is left of the work here is 24 per cent; they have done about 76 per cent of the work. The contractor has been fully mobilised and he has assured us that the job will be completed by next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also patronising indigenous contractors and this is one of them that we are using. Looking at the work he has done, we are very satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Engineering and Environmental faculties of UNIDEL, Owa-Alero campus, the governor expressed delight with the quality of work done.<\/p>\n

He said the Environmental Sciences Faculty consisted of two theatre halls of 250-seater capacity, four lecture halls of 50-seater capacity and four studios, while the Engineering Faculty comprised eight halls of 100-seat capacity each and another 500-seat capacity, all completed and awaiting inauguration.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the Engineering Faculty, I am very happy for all they have done here. The workshop is fully equipped and already in use.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor said further: \u201cWhat is left of the Faculty of Engineering is just to equip the facility. Once that is done, we can come for commissioning. I am very happy with the two different contractors handling the two different projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne good thing about the Faculty of Environmental Sciences is that all the departments are there in the building. So, I commend the contractor for what they have done.\u201d<\/p>\n
