Tinubu orders NDDC to reconstruct Warri-Sapele-Benin road – Official

President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to begin reconstructing the Warri-Sapele-Benin section of the East-West Road in Delta State, according to a report by The Guardian. The directive came after an inspection by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, who had previously issued a 14-day ultimatum to a contractor to repair damage on the Benin-Asaba Highway. The NDDC managing director, Samuel Ogbuku, confirmed the order and apologized for the poor condition of the road, promising to address the issue. Local representatives highlighted the impact of the road's deterioration, particularly isolating Sapele from other areas and affecting daily life. The reconstruction project involves two contractors and aims to improve connectivity for transportation and commerce in the region.
