One of the heavily delapidated roads and a horrible eye sore within the heart of Asaba metropolise has finally attracted the attention of the Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, Asaba Post News Wire confirmed.

According to the Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Comrade Charles Ehiedu, Governor Okowa is committed to total and proactive rehabilitation of major and link roads within the capital city of Asaba.

Addressing journalists during a facility tour of an unveiling of the newly acquired secretariate for the indigenious newspaper and magazine chaple of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Delta State council, Comrade Ehiedu threw insights into the state governor's firm commitment at turming Asaba to a first class city in Nigeria.

Governor Okowa has today demonstrated his concern and prepared News at making sure that the famous and nearly forgotten Isioma Onyeobi Way is Rehabilitated.

With the governor's demonstrated concern today to pwrsonally inspect the roads,, this shows that our governor is a listening governor, Comrade Ehiedu pointed out.

Before now Deltans and other dwellers along Isioma Onyeobi Way had at several occassions called upon the government to come to their rescue as tipper drivers excavating beach sand had damaged the roads, so badly.

It will be recalled that at his Ineh Festival goodwill message to Asaba people, Chief P. I. G Onyeobi, the Iyase of Asaba, had bitterly lamented over the increasing delapidated states of road networks within the Asaba metropolise and had called upon the state government for sweet response.

The Iyase had also charged the state government to urgently relocate the beaches of all dredging firms, whose activities deface and damage road networks within the Asaba capital city.

Ogbueshi John Okolie commended the Iyase's firm and kindid position on the poor state of Asaba road networks.

In the same list, I highly salute Governor Okowa's listening ears to the poor state of Asaba road networks raised by the traditional prime minister of Ahaba land.

That in less than one month after Chief Onyeobi brought to lime light the plights of Asaba dwellers as it concerns poor road networks and the state governor is already through his body language shows he has respect for the Iyase of Asaba, to me that is a commendable plus for the governor, Ogbueshi Okolie said.

The governor's chief press secretary, also observed that his boss is prepared and committed to rehabilitate many more roads within the capital city of Asaba.

Stressing that despite the current nation wide recession, limited internally generated revenue and decreasing state allocations from the federal government, Comrade Ehiedu maintained that the governor is committed to rehabilitate more Asaba Roads.

Governor Okowa is not just concerned about straight Alsphat taring of roads but highly interested in working out approaches that will guarantee quality road networks with durable and top quality drainage systems for any future Asaba road construction or rehabilitation, Comrade Ehiedu said.

The Isioma Onyeobi Way to many Asaba natives is a highly significant road to the People's historical past, colonial encounter cum engagement, biannual traditional carnivals/festivals and other Social-cultural realities the People cheerish alot.
