“The facts are glaring even to the blind, the development strides of the Senator Ifeanyi Okowa’s government. There is no local government in Delta State that can not boast of a road or a touch of one project or the other. Suffice it that, the roads are very viable to the economic build of those communities.”

“Beyond the road development story, Okowa’s drive to eradicate unemployment in Delta State is even more sterling through his youth entrepreneurship programmes, and there is more.” Iteveh added.
