Work to resume on abandoned Borokiri-Okrika Road – NDDC

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Executive Director of Finance and Administration, Mr. Boma Iyaye, has said that the commission is set to restart work on the 3.65-kilometre Borokiri-Okrika Road and three bridges. The projects have been abandoned since 2012.

Iyaye dropped the hint during an interactive forum with some stakeholders of the project yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

He explained that the project would link Kolabi, Abatoru, Okpoka, and other coastal communities to the Port Harcourt metropolis.

He said: “This 3.65-kilometre Borokiri-Okrika Road and three bridges project was initiated by previous NDDC administrations in 2012.

“Mobilisation fees were paid, and work began, but regrettably, the project was stalled for many years.”

The NDDC director identified the project as one of the priority projects earmarked for completion under the administration of President Bola Bola Tinubu.

Iyaye said: “This project has been included in the 2024 NDDC budget, and now is the time to restart it.

“Consequently, we organised this interactive session to inform the real owners of the project that contractors will soon return to site to resume work on the project.”
