Governor Oborevwori said: “We mobilised the contractor with 25 per cent and they have done a lot of jobs. They have done 500m and 200m on the other side and behind me is one box culvert on the other side which is about 1.5km

“We are just coming from Okerenkoko where we went to inspect the lecture hall and other offices at the Maritime University, where the contractor assured us that the work will be completed before the end of this month.

“So we dedicated today for the inspection of projects in the riverine and it’s very key to us because we can’t be doing this in the upland without touching the riverine because they are very key to us.

“We decided to go into the place today despite the rain because they are very key to us and am glad that we made it here because they are very important to us.”

On the Model Secondary School in Ogulagha, the governor said: “I am actually impressed because this is one of the best model schools in the riverine area.

“The project has been on since 2013 and the immediate past administration made effort to complete it. We are glad that the project has been completed and in the next two weeks, it will be inaugurated.”
