The
Bayelsa Government has restated its
commitment to link the three senatorial zones in the state by road, to
accelerate economic growth.
Mr Lawrence
Ehwrudjakpo, the state Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure Development,
said this in Kaiama while inspecting some ongoing projects in the area.
Ehwrudjakpo
expressed satisfaction with the ongoing Sagbama/Ekeremor road project in
Bayelsa West-Senatorial zone, which he described as one of the key projects in
the state.
``Yes, there is
no money in the state, but there are still some key projects we cannot do
without.
``We will still
be working with the available resources to ensure that our state is developed.
``On the state
of internal roads, we are still putting efforts to make movement of vehicles
easier.
``Re-construction
work is ongoing at old assembly link-road, Opolo-Elebele, Igbogene glory-land
drive among others.
``The Igbogene
glory-land drive is the most vital road because that is the entrance to the state;
so, you cannot say that you want to make your state a Dubai and all the roads
leading to it are deplorable.
``We will
provide the needed infrastructure for the people and create an enabling
environment for business,” he said.
Some of the
projects inspected by the commissioner included the new Governor/Deputy
Governor’s Office, House Officer’s quarter, FMC and a Helipad.
Others were the
Old Assembly road, Glory-land drive, Ecumenical centre, Opolo-Eleble road and
new NYSC permanent orientation camp.
