At the project site in Warri on Tuesday, the South-South regional manager of Setraco Nig. Ltd, Mr. JayJay assured of the project’s completion within 18 months.

Oborevwori further expressed his reason for the supervision, “I like visiting projects to see what has been done and what is left; we have come and we have seen the project which has been crawling for the last 17 years.”

Commissioner for Works, Comrade Reuben Izeze, presented a brief on the project’s history and progress, while Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri praised the ongoing efforts and the Governor’s commitment.
