He commended the Delta State Government for its proactive approach to development, referring to the state as a “construction site” due to the various ongoing projects, including three major flyovers in Warri.
This initiative is expected to not only facilitate easier movement of goods and people but also stimulate economic activities in the connected regions, thereby contributing to national development goals.
