He made the remark when he inspected major projects in the state capital, Asaba and Okpanam. He gave kudos to the contractors handling the construction, saying with the advanced level of work at the drainage project sites, the companies will likely complete the jobs ahead of schedule.
Okowa said: “It is a thing of joy that the people are happy with our projects, it shows that we are meeting with their expectations. I was quite surprised with the way the network of roads in Okpanam have impacted on the lives of the people because, obviously, the people were in difficulties before the roads were constructed.”
