The Federal Ministry of Works and Housing is currently finalising preparations to undertake major works on the Warri-Benin Expressway, the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has stated.
The repairs of the Warri-Benin expressway followed constructive and fruitful engagements between the deputy senate president and the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola.
Omo-Agege, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, decried the deplorable state of the Warri-Benin expressway and its debilitating effects on the people and businesses in the Niger Delta.
The legislator commended the minister’s responsiveness and assurances on the need to urgently overcome the serious challenges posed by the present state of the road to citizens, businesses, security and by implication, the national economy.
The statement further reads, “It is necessary to thank our people once again sincerely for their continuing patience amidst the hardships arising from the poor state of the road.
“The DSP, the Minister and other leaders and stakeholders will continue to work diligently together to ensure that work on the road is done unhindered and properly.
“He feels their pains and humbly appeals to our people for more patience, as he will be constantly guided by their best interests and the greater good of the nation.”
