Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, at the weekend said ongoing Kwale-Beneku bridge project across Ase River linking Ndokwa West and Ndokwa East would be ready for use in February, 2022.
The governor disclosed this while speaking to newsmen shortly after inspecting the project.
He said that the bridge was of great significance to the government and its people, especially as the area contributed immensely to oil and gas production in Nigeria.
He said that for the critical position of the area to the oil industry, it was the expectation of the state government that oil companies operating in the area should have constructed the bridge over the years.
He said that the government, however, took the gauntlet to construct the bridge since the oil companies failed to do the needful.
