Inaugurating the road projects, Okowa stated that more attention would be paid to other sectors of the state economy by next year, adding that in doing that, the development of road infrastructure will not be ignored.
“I am glad that these three roads that we are commissioning today in Sapele have been executed to specification as the Commissioner for Works (Urban Roads and Highways) has spoken.
“We will continue to provide road infrastructure because we realised the importance of providing good roads for our people.
“We will also try to ensure that other aspects of our economy do not suffer because of road construction.
“It is our intention that next year, we will be spending more resources on other aspects of the state economy. Even as we do that, we are not going to ignore road construction.
“However, l have noted the request for more roads made by the Chairman of the Local Government Council, l will try to give consideration to it,” the governor said.
