The Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Ned Nwoko, has commended President Bola Tinubu over the commencement of the second Niger Bridge access road and the reconstruction of the Asaba-Benin Expressway.

This was contained in a message on the project addressed to Tinubu by Nwoko in Abuja on Monday.

Nwoko, a member of the Senate Committee on Works, said the projects were of immense strategic importance, not only for the South-South and South-East regions but for the entire country.

He also said that by prioritising their execution, the Tinubu-led administration had reaffirmed its commitment to economic integration, national cohesion and infrastructure renewal.

Nwoko said, “These projects are of immense strategic importance, not only for the South-South and South-East regions but for Nigeria as a whole.

“By prioritising their execution, your administration has reaffirmed its commitment to economic integration, national cohesion, and infrastructural renewal.

“The Asaba-Benin Expressway, in particular, has been a major source of concern due to its dilapidated state and the severe hardship it has imposed on commuters and businesses.

“As a senator representing Delta North, I have persistently engaged the Federal Ministry of Works on this matter, advocating for urgent intervention.

“It is gratifying to see that these efforts, backed by your leadership’s responsiveness, have resulted in tangible progress, with the project duly accommodated in the national budget.”

The lawmaker also said that the urgency of rehabilitating federal roads had also been reinforced at the legislative level.
