“In line with his M.O.R.E Agenda, Governor Oborevwori wants Deltans to get the best from his administration, everywhere you go, jobs are being executed in the state and that’s one of the reasons he has to go and bring Julius Berger to come and work in the state”.

“But when we now see Nigerians doing this kind of job which is in line with the M.O.R.E Agenda, I believe that more of the Nigerians should be encouraged especially Deltans”.

He stressed on the Governor’s commitment to encouraged indigenous contactors saying, “And am sure that in one of those places the Governor went to inspect he said that he wants to encourage Deltans to also work and this is an example of a Deltan doing a job that is fantastic”.

He also commended the contractor handling the project Obakpor Engineering Limited for doing a good job.

“The job is good anybody that come and look at this place whether you are engineer or none engineer you will be impressed, even all the bridges done in other states even inter-city bridges and so forth they are not better than this, Agbi stated”.

“If Nigerian contractors, Nigeria consultants and engineers can perform this feat, Nigeria is on the part of greatness”.
