During his visit to Ukubie, the headquarters of Southern Ijaw constituency 4, the governor announced that the road project would be included in the state’s 2024 budget. Furthermore, he instructed the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to promptly initiate the road clearance process.
The Toru-Ebeni Road project, originally initiated by former President Goodluck Jonathan when he was the state’s governor, was later continued by Senator Seriake Dickson, who oversaw the construction of the Toru-Ebeni Bridge.
After inspecting the Ukubie community hospital, Governor Diri instructed the Commissioner for Health to promptly assess the health facility and carry out necessary renovation work.
