By the Media Dept of WUEDA

The Director General of Warri, Uvwie and Environs Special Area Devt Agency, WUEDA, Hon. Prince Godwin Ejinyere has formally presented the contract award letter for the maintenance and asphalt overlay of the NNPC Housing Complex/Ekpan link Road, to Levant Construction Company.

The project which begins from Refinery Road by Ekpan Police station in Uvwie LGA, and ends at Edjeba junction in Warri South LGA, has a total length of 3km but with asphalt overlay of 2.4km. The WUEDA DG told the contractor (Levant) to complete the project before the end of 2024.

Prince Ejinyere told the Area Manager of Levant Construction Company, Engr. Ghassan Fadel that the contract entails the maintenance and asphalt overlay of the failed portions of the road, charging him to ensure that the job was executed according to specifications so that it could stand the test of time, and give government value for the money spent.

The WUEDA DG warned against civil unrests or community disturbances capable of stopping/delaying the road project, as Governor Oborevwori has zero tolerance for such behaviours. He then appealed to the community to fully cooperate with the firm and protect the project as they are the biggest beneficiaries of the road, one of the development initiatives of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in Uvwie LGA.

Describing Levant as a trusted contractor with impeccable track records and good working relationship so far, the WUEDA DG said the firm had been a critical partner in Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s More Agenda. Hon. Prince Ejinyere underscored the importance of the road to residents of the Oil Metropolis, and urged Levant to deliver quality job because “Governor Oborevwori does not tolerate shoddy jobs.

Receiving the letter of contract award from the WUEDA DG, the Area Manager of Levant, Engr. Ghassan Fadel thanked the Governor and WUEDA for the confidence reposed in his firm, and solicited for more cooperation from the Agency’s engineers and the community towards a smooth completion/delivery of the project in record time and according to specifications.

The Youth President of Ekpan Community, Mr. Victor Edavwe appreciated the DG and the Governor for the project, promising that the Community would protect the job from beginning to its logical completion. He said Ekpan youths had changed for the better, cooperating with contracting firms handling projects in the Community.

Prince Ejinyere and his team inspected the 30% completed Ejirue/Ovhokwo Road project off Ekpan link Road whose contract upward review had been approved by the Governor. He enjoined the contracting firm to re-mobilize to site immediately or risk the contract revoked by the Governor.

The DG was also at the construction site of Ogbe Avenue Road extension leading to Paul Ataine Street, Effurun, where he instructed the residents to leave the gates open in the day time for use by motorists to ease traffic congestion at PTI junction due to the constrution of the flyovers there. The project was said to be 70% completed.

On PTI Road near Masoje junction, Effurun, some Dangote Cement trucks were seen indiscriminately parked on the main road, causing traffic problems to other motorists. The DG then ordered the immediate deflation of their tyres as a warning, adding that “if the action repeats itself, the Agency will impound such trucks.”

He was also at the Oneya Road linking Ovie Palace Road to Effurun GRA, where he cautioned the landlord of House Number 5 to stop the bad habit of evacuating sewage on the road, or risk facing the legal consequences.

The DG was also at the construction site of a building close to Water Resources junction, Effurun, where he told the landlord to stop encroaching into Government’s land, the Effurun/Sapele Road right-of-way. He also warned other property developers in WUEDA’s mandate areas to stop such acts or face the wrath of the law.

A Board member of WUEDA, Elder Isaac Itobi, the Director of Project and Works of the Agency, Engr. Bemigho Ofoeyenor, and other officials of the Agency, accompanied Prince Ejinyere on the inspection visits.
