Governor Oborevwori Slams Contractor Over Substandard Work on Delta Road Project....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State publicly criticized the contracting firm Dora-Dan Global Resources on Tuesday for their handling of the 9.1km Isheagu-Ewulu road project in Aniocha South Local Government Area. Expressing his frustration, the governor labeled the contractor’s actions as “pure wickedness” and demanded immediate rectification of the substandard side drains associated with the project.
During an inspection of the Ubu bridge along the Ughelli-Asaba road dualization project, Oborevwori emphasized the need for the contractor to address all observed issues. He warned that if the necessary corrections were not made, he would refrain from commissioning the project, which has a budget exceeding N4 billion.
The Isheagu-Ewulu road project was awarded in 2021 by the previous administration of Ifeanyi Okowa to Dora-Dan Global Resources, a firm reportedly owned by Ifeanyi, an ally of Okowa from the Delta North senatorial district. Concerns have emerged regarding the awarding of numerous contracts to “mushroom companies” from that region during Okowa’s tenure, often resulting in the use of substandard materials for high-value projects.
While inspecting the Ubu bridge project at Ogwashi-Uku, Governor Oborevwori noted that the project is expected to be completed by December 2024. He expressed satisfaction with the asphalt work completed on the Isheagu-Ewulu road, despite identifying issues with the drainage system.
“We are satisfied with the asphalt work. However, we need the contractor to correct the drains before we can move forward with the commissioning. My administration has zero tolerance for substandard projects,” he stated.
Oborevwori also addressed the challenges faced by the construction teams due to recent heavy rains, highlighting their assurance that the bridge would be completed on schedule. “They don’t have any reason not to work because they are on ISPO, so they don’t lack money,” he concluded, reiterating his commitment to ensuring quality in infrastructure development within the state.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.
The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.
-
Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.
-
Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.
-
Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.
-
Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.
The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
