Following years of incompletion and abandonment of the 170 kilometers Koko-Ogheye-Epe Road which runs from Koko in Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State to Epe in Lagos State, the House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to as a matter of urgency direct the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC and other related agency in charge of the completion of the project to do so in its 2024 Budget.
He noted that the project remained at the conception stage until 2009 when the federal government through the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC awarded the first phase of the contract spanning 15 kilometers to Levant Construction Company Limited. He explained further that the project when completed will open up avenues of employment for the teeming jobless youths in the surrounding areas as it would open a major network of interconnected communities in the riverine areas and enhance the agro fishery market as well as positively impact the socio-economic situation of the people and Nigeria as a whole.
