More insight  

  • Regarding the remedial work on some flood sections along the East-West Road in Delta State by Messrs.  True Tech Nigeria  Ltd., Umahi expressed satisfaction with the job done by the contractor. 
  • Speaking on the project, he said:  “We have about 10 different washouts, which we are providing multiple culverts in place of a decompile, which would have been much more expensive. But our solution is very economical, and it will solve the engineering problems. And then we’re raising the road level above the flood level. And we are also using a concrete pavement to do it.”   
  • The Works Minister mentioned that upon completion of the project, solar lights would be installed along the axis, symbolizing the improvements to be expected in national road infrastructure during his administration.
