Road Reconstruction: Okpe Community Appreciates Momoh

By Elempe Dele

The reconstruction of Okpe Road from its dilapidated state has recently been concluded. This was made possible by Hon. Abubakar Momoh, the Minister of Regional Development. The rehabilitation project was done and titled Emergency Reconstruction of Okpe-Igarra Road. The project started last year and was concluded late May this year.

For over thirty years, the road was abandoned and all efforts for its rehabilitation never yielded any result until Hon. Abubakar Momoh, the then Minister for the Niger Delta Commission, wielded in.

The excited people of the entire Okpe Community have expressed gratitude to the minister for his timely intervention. Speaking with several natives this week, they retailed their profound gratitude.

“We are very happy for the reconstruction of the road as promised. I want to thank the Minister for keeping to his promise. You can see the solid road that is there. May our gods continue to bless him for us,” Monda
