Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has said
the Asaba International Airport would be functional in the next four months.
The
Governor made the disclosure yesterday at Kwale during a meeting of members of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta North Senatorial District.
According
to the Governor, his administration is committed to delivering dividends of
democracy to Deltans, noting that the Asaba International Airport is very
important to the socio-economic development of the state and neighbouring
states. “I want to tell you
that the contract for the construction of the Asaba Airport project has been
awarded to Setraco. Setraco is a reputable company and in the last one week a
lot of construction work has been witnessed at the airport.
“The
company has a mandate of four months to deliver the project. The amount that
Setraco quoted to deliver the job was lesser than the amount the contract was
awarded to the former contractor.” Okowa, who scored his administration high in
project delivery, disclosed that the administration has mapped out a holistic
programme to tackle flood in Asaba and Okpanam, stating that while work has
commenced in the construction of storm drains to check flood at the Direct
Labour, Jesus Saves roads, contract has also been awarded for the construction
of drains to check flooding on the Delta Broadcasting Service, Mariam Babangida
Way and Junior Staff Quarters areas of the state capital. He disclosed that the
contract to check flood water on Okpanam road would soon be awarded."
