Aliboba Quarters’ Residents, Agbor, appeal to Governor Oborevwori for Construction of Road Networks

The residents of Aliboba quarters in Agbor, Ika South of Delta State have called on the Delta State governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to come to the aid of the area to construct road networks that they have never experienced since the creation of Delta State.

The Community known as Aliboba Quarters, Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State is located by the popular Uromi express road Junction, Agbor.

The Community also is where the Delta line office and the Agbor Technical College are domiciled. The Uromi junction, Agbor has stores and motor parks on both sides of the road, where both the State and local government generate internal revenue.

However, Investigation by Gentechnews has revealed that the community only has footpath ways that residents use to move to their abodes because no motor-able road networks have ever been constructed there since the inception of Delta State. Those who have cars have to park them in town and trek home daily and make do with motorcycles.

It was gathered that the community leaders have had several chats with the both print and electronic media on this development and inundated the immediate past administration with the publication on both the state government official website, Instagram and Twitter handles to draw the attention to the plight of this community.

They lamented that successive administrations in the State come and go and only remember the residents of Aliboba during electioneering campaigns with unfathomable promises that the roads in the area will be constructed.

The residents of Aliboba Community, Agbor are appealing to the Delta State Governor, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to commence an investigation to these areas that have been ravaged by erosion from the Uromi junction up to the heavy gullies by Agbor Technical School fence where some buildings are about to cave in to assess the suffering of the inhabitants of these areas in Delta State.

“The agony, pains and panic of the people is that lives have being lost, residential buildings about caving into deep gully in Ebomkpa quarters there, even as the Agbor Technical College and the Aliboba primary school are at the verge of the gully which can swallow any big lorry. About a year ago two siblings were swept away by flood in a mighty gully that is close to the Technical College fence,” a resident hinted.

Investigation by Gentechnews also revealed that the gully which is before this Delta line office up to Agbor-Obi has become the cynosure of all eyes and speaks volume.

It is a shame that such a scenario as this erosion ravaged communities could be seen in this 21st century in Ika South Local government area of Delta State abandoned, even when the out-gone governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa is from Ika North East, while Aliboba Community is in Ika South of Delta State.

This Aliboba community is a litmus test for this new administration of governor Oborevwori, from the same ruling party to remedy this trend as it begins to exhibit the ethos of continuity in development of places like the Asaba-Warri road with such on the spot visits, which should be extended to Aliboba community in Agbor, Delta State.

“It will be a comic relief if this wrong done to this Aliboba community, Agbor is corrected and fixed because this community has been wearing the toga of a neglected and abandoned community since the inception of Delta State.

“Therefore, the prayer of Aliboba Community Agbor, Delta State is to see that the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori will take cognizance of this trend, visit first hand or send his commissioner and his aides and see if they may not be filled with tears that a place like Aliboba Community exists in a sorry state in the heart of Agbor in Delta State.

Gentechnews believe that it is time for Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori to write his name in Gold and  for residents of Aliboba Community to say “You have done what Napoleon couldn’t do” for Aliboba Community in Ika South LGA of Delta State by constructing road networks after over three decade of Delta State.
