House Asks Contractors to Resume Work on East-West Road via thisdaylive
The House of Representatives has called on the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to direct Setraco Construction Company and other contractors handling the East-West road to immediately return to site.
The House, therefore, urged the federal government to redeem all liabilities owed contractors constructing the road. The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion on the need to immediately repair the failing sections of the road, particularly the Bayelsa/Rivers and Bayelsa/Delta axis, and complete the construction of the road, moved by Hon. Steve Azaiki.
The lawmaker noted that the East-West road spans five states of Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa-Ibom and Cross-River, saying the road is in the heart of the oil rich Niger Delta where the oil revenue is derived, and hence very vital to the economic wellbeing of the country.
