The Senator Diri administration will be three years in office on February 14.
A statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Alabrah, quoted the governor as saying during the 100th state executive council meeting in Government House, Yenagoa, that several other legacy projects across the state will be inaugurated by prominent Nigerians as part of the anniversary activities.
The projects include the dual carriage way from Igbogene to the Tombia-Amassoma road, which the governor said his administration would award its second phase that will get the road to Onopa.
Governor Diri equally assured on completion of the three senatorial road projects, saying the Bayelsa West Senatorial District road construction had reached Ekeremor and would also be inaugurated during the third anniversary.
According to the state’s helmsman, “This administration does not play politics with development. For us, whether there is a refund from the Federal Government or not, we are going to construct these roads for the use of our people. We have taken on construction of all the three senatorial roads with work also starting on the Brass-Nembe road in Bayelsa East.”
He further stated that the Central Senatorial District road had been done up to Angiama community with the bridge to link Oporoma, headquarters of Southern Ijaw local government area, ongoing. He said his administration would complete the project.
