 Commuters plying the Asaba-Ugedi Expressway were stranded for several hours and this was after a protest by Uvrode community in Isoku North local government area over alleged neglect of the community. The protesters besieged the expressway for hours. They looted placards with inscriptions such as Uvrode is bleeding and no federal and state government projects in Uvrode community. There are inscriptions where our grammar school is in bad shape. No teachers and no chairs. No constituency projects in Uvrode community. Oil exploration in our community since 1963 till date and nothing to show for it. President-General of Uvrode community is Mr. Felix Efedoma. He said both states and federal governments have abandoned Uvrode community despite being an oil producing community since 1963 till date.
