Residents of the Delta State Capital Territory witnessed another milestone in infrastructural development on Friday, March 6, 2026, as the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, inaugurated the 4.8-kilometre Oko-Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu Road and other connecting road networks in Asaba.

The project, which is expected to significantly improve movement within the capital territory, forms part of the state government’s commitment to strengthening infrastructure and enhancing connectivity for residents.

Speaking during the inauguration, the Director-General of the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA), Mr Patrick Ukah, described the project as a major step toward improving transportation and opening up more communities within the capital city for development.

Mr Ukah noted that the completion of the road network would ease traffic movement, boost economic activities and improve the overall living conditions of residents in the benefiting communities.

He also highlighted the progress made so far in infrastructure development within the capital territory, revealing that over 70 kilometres of roads have been completed and are ongoing across the capital territory.

According to him, about 50 kilometres of the roads were executed directly by the agency, alongside more than 20 kilometres of drainage construction aimed at addressing flooding challenges and improving the environment.

Mr Ukah further disclosed that the long-awaited Asagba Road project in Asaba has been approved by the governor, assuring residents that construction work on the road will commence soon.

He expressed sincere appreciation to Governor Oborevwori for his deliberate commitment to the development of the state through the M.O.R.E Agenda, noting that the administration’s focus on infrastructure continues to transform the capital territory and improve the lives of residents.

The newly inaugurated Oko-Amakom/Oko-Obiokpu Road is expected to further enhance connectivity and contribute to the steady growth and development of the Delta State capital.
