 Governor Sharif Oborewori has highlighted the importance of the East-West Road to the economic development of the oil-rich Niger Delta region. Oborewori speaking when the Senate Adho Committee investigating the non-completion of the East-West Road visited him at the Government House Asaba said the East-West Road remains in a bad state and uncompleted despite several attempts to complete the road. Oborewori said that the region which produces the highest wealth of the nation should be giving better treatment by ensuring that the road was completed as the road is very strategic to the people of the region adding that with what the region has contributed to the nation it is only proper that attention is paid to the South-South region. Our sub-correspondent Akumejero Friday reported that Governor Oborewori noted that at the National Economic Council meetings the governors from the South-South agreed collectively to work on the East-West Road. This nation and this is proper that attention is paid to this region. I will also thank the leadership of the National Assembly of Dominic Faith for appointing the focus of high-intensity capacity to pay this team. Once again I want to say again this visit, this visit has also made us happy because the Government Council meeting they also said world and no one else can be completed in the region and we most of all from the South-South we decided to choose the East-West Road. Governor Oborewori said that they went down to state on a fact-finding mission. Senator Nenge congratulated Governor, the governor for his landslide victory at the polls and for hitting the ground running adding that the committee would ascertain the level of work so far done on the road with a view to determining whether the work done was commensurate with what the federal government had spent on the road.
