The Director-General of the Warri/Uvwie and Environs Development Agency (WUEDA) in Delta State, Comrade Ovuzuorie Macaulay, has expressed satisfaction with the level of work done so far by contractors handling projects for the control of flood in the area.
The former Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG) spoke shortly after inspecting projects handled by Levant Construction Limited and CCEC in Warri and Uvwie
The projects are the Phase II of the flood control measures in Warri/Effurun and Environs by the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led administration.
Comrade Macaulay said, “I Am very satisfied with what I saw both from the CCEC end and Levant End. You can see that they’re maintaining the integrity of the job.
“The job is of high quality. Even the areas that are complicated, they’re able to do their best to make sure that we come out with something good. So far, I will say they’re trying.”
While noting that the Delta State Government and the contractors lost a lot of time to the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, Macaulay said, “Even at that, what we have achieved within this period of time that we’ve come back to work is commendable and am sure we will try as much as possible to meet the target.”
He expressed the optimism that the contractors will work faster once the State Government takes care of all utilities and compensations.
Levant Construction Limited Site Engineer, Bassen El Sayed, in a chat with newsmen said his company is working seriously to finish the underground drainage construction works and others within the two weeks ultimatum handed down to them by the Government.
Our correspondent reports that the WUEDA DG and his team inspected projects at Igbudu Model Primary School, Esisi road, Mabiaku road, Commissioner road, Uti road and Ugbolokposo Community in Warri South and Uvwie Local Government Areas of Delta State.
