The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, the Federal Ministry of Works, the Edo State Government and other stakeholders have commenced an urgent intervention to address failed sections of major highways linking Edo and Delta states.
The intervention followed growing concerns over the deplorable condition of the Benin-Sapele-Warri and Benin-Agbor roads, which have caused hardship for motorists, commuters, residents and businesses along the corridors.
Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo; Minister of Works, David Umahi; members of the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Works; and NDDC Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, inspected failed portions of the highways.
