Ughoton community in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State has appealed to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to complete the abandoned Ughoton Express road linking Sapele Road in order to open up the area and decongest traffic in the ever busy commercial town.

The call was recently made by the community through its spokesman, Unu-Amua of Ughoton, Mr. David Orume, while appreciating God for the Governor and the state government for successfully marking its fifth the anniversary.

He urged Dr. Okowa to take it upon himself in making sure that he completes the Ughoton Express road project which he inherited from the immediate past administration.

He noted that as government is continuous, the need to complete the road project becomes necessary as it will be among the legacy projects of the Okowa administration in the state.

Unu-Amua of Ughoton disclosed that the present government has not tarred any road in Ughoton for the past five years despite their peaceful nature and support to the Governor's administration in making sure there is sustainability to business growth and development being attracted to the area.

He appealed to the Governor Okowa who is also known as “the Road Master” to look at Ughoton and remember them for road projects across the town which is open and has good land for citing of industries and residential buildings.

He hinted that if the road project is completed it will completely eradicate the traffic gridlock associated to Effurun Roundabout as well as the holdup at Shaguolor Warri Refinery axis.

Mr. Orume urged the state government to pay attention to the cosmopolitan town, while lamenting that there’s only one road project at Baptist street in Ughoton that is ongoing in the whole of the town for the past five years despite having their own Chief James Augoye as works commissioner in the state, though he commended him and want more projects such as improvement in electric supply and portable water among others to be attracted to the city.
