The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to embark on the reconstruction of the Warri-Sapele-Benin and Sapele-Agbor roads, while also urging the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to deploy more men to the roads to protect citizens from being attacked.
The House made the call at the plenary on Tuesday following the unanimous adoption of a motion jointly moved by two members, Ben Igbakpa, and Anthony Afe, titled, ‘Need to Reconstruct Warri-Sapele-Benin and Sapele-Amukpe to Agbor roads in Delta State.’
In the motion presented by Igbakpa, the lawmakers noted that the importance of road infrastructure in socio-economic development could not be over-emphasised, thereby reiterating the need to reconstruct the “parlous” Warri-Sapele-Benin and Sapele-Amukpe- Agbor roads that serve Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers states, with other South-South states in particular and Nigeria in general.
According to the lawmakers, the major road of about 104.5km distance was constructed 27 years ago and is the most preferred route for articulated vehicles used for oil and gas haulage operating from Delta State to other parts of Nigeria.
