The drainage has to be completed. The project is not moving as fast as planned because we are at the heart of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/16\/four-dead-five-injured-in-sokoto-road-crash\/\">rainy season<\/a>. Unless the project is completed, whatever palliative we embark on will amount to naught.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoads are constructed with a plan to ensure a sustainable means to drain the water out of the area. When the rains subside in September, we expect that the contractors will deploy fully to site and ensure that the drains are completed in good time. We have to conclude the Uwelu-West aspect of the masterplan to be able to permanently solve the issue of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/22\/lagosians-have-to-live-with-flooding-says-joe-igbokwe\/\">flooding<\/a> in the area and the condition of the road, with a proper drain. The contract is active on that road.<\/p>\n<p>He noted, \u201cThe Governor Godwin Obaseki-led state government remains committed to its urban renewal and infrastructural development programme and will spare no resources at ensuring programmes and projects to improve the livelihood of residents and achieve economic prosperity for the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Osagie continued, \u201cThe construction and rehabilitation of roads are currently ongoing across the state, even though our contractors are grappling with the impact of the rainy season which has slowed the pace of work on various construction sites in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have ensured that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/25\/submit-affidavit-of-commitment-to-security-for-road-contractors-umahi-tells-lg-chairmen\/\">contractors<\/a> working on these roads stay on site to work on the portions of the road that could be done during the rainy season but the daily torrential downpour has hugely affected the extent to which they can perform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governor in his innovative way of proffering solutions to societal problems has adopted Irrevocable Standing Payment Order system to ensure that payment to contractors is not stalled and construction projects are completed and delivered to the Edo people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge residents to remain calm and patients as work will be accelerated on all construction sites across the state once the rain recedes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government of Edo has stated that all road construction projects across the state are ongoing.
