The Director General of Warri, Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency, (WUEDA), Hon. Prince Godwin Ejinyere has charged the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, (CCECC), the firm handling the flood control project from Airport junction to Total Petrol station along Airport Road, Effurun and Warri, to be safety conscious at all times to avoid workplace accidents.

Prince Ejinyere who gave the charge on Monday when he paid an unscheduled inspection visit to the project site between the Union Bank area and Airport junction, wondered why some of the workers on site did not wear safety kits, stressing that Governor Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori has zero tolerance for any act capable of causing accidents at project sites in the State.

The WUEDA DG was not happy with the slow pace at which the slabbing aspect of the job was being done, adding that business premises whose entrances had been excavated, were losing money daily due to the delay in covering the newly constructed drainage channels with prefabricated slabs.

He urged the firm to engage more staff so as to expedite action on the slabbing and back-filling process to enable the affected premises commence business as usual. He assured the affected business owners that actions were already being taken to ensure that their businesses resume operatiions in twenty four hours.

Responding, the site supervisor for CCECC promised that the completed drainage channels would be covered with slabs before the end of Tuesday, and thanked the affected business owners for their patience.

Prince Ejinyere also expressed concern over the incessant occurrence of traffic jams between the old Airport and Union Bank, and directed the contractor to put measures in place to effectively control the traffic close to all its construction sites, so that road users do not suffer unnecessarily.

He said the Agency would continue its unscheduled visits to project sites to inspect various aspects of the flood control project in WUEDA’s mandate areas, urging the firm to stick to technical specifications in the Bill of Quantity, BOQ.
