Delta State: Aliboba Residents in Agbor appeal to Gov Oborevwori to Construct Road in the Area.
The denial of the dividend of democracy since the creation of Delta State has led to the hue and cry by the residents of Aliboba quarters, Agbor in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State calling on the State Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori visited this area for on-the-spot assessment and directed that road networks be constructed in these areas after over three decades of abandonment by previous administrations.
Serial investigation undertaken by Gentechnews concerning Aliboba quarters which is located around Uromi Junction in Agbor in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State point to the fact that government is only interested in the revenue which it generates from this area, where there are stores, petrol station, parks, oil processing spot, Delta Line office, Agbor Technical College, Agbor, Hotels amongst other economic ventures.
Abel Alikwe, a resident, said “our areas have no road networks, except footpaths, pathways washed by erosion as well as deep gullies. 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 of government to the plight of this community to no avail.
“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.”
According to the residents, the Commissioner for Works (Rural and Internal Roads) Delta State, Charles Aniagwu, an indigene of Ika North should rise to the occasion and let road networks be constructed in the area because he was privy to the plight of the community when he was Commissioner of Information in former Governor Okowa’s administration, haven been inundated with avalanche of media reports about the area to no avail.
Gentechnews believes that it is time for Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori wrote his name in Gold and for residents of Aliboba Community,Agbor 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.
