The twin events drew a large gathering of Ndokwa leaders, traditional rulers and residents who hailed the projects as a turning point for connectivity and public safety in the area.

Speaking at the groundbreaking, Governor Oborevwori said the road project aligns with his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda which prioritizes Meaningful Development, Opportunities for all, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security.

Chief Ochonogor reaffirmed DESOPADEC’s mandate to deliver impactful projects in oil-producing areas, stressing that the Commission remains committed to complementing the State government’s development drive.

Dr. Charles Olisa who spoke on behalf of the Ndokwa people, described the intervention as timely and transformative.

“This project is critical to the people of Ndokwa Nation. It demonstrates a commitment to opening up our communities and improving the quality of life for our people. We are deeply grateful to Governor Oborevwori for delivering this legacy infrastructure,” he said.
