Okowa appeals to residents of Warri/Effurun for patience regarding flood

Okowa disclosed that at the weekend, the contractor and officials of Warri-Uwvie and Environs Development Agency, had worked assiduously on measures to check the level of flooding occasioned by the rainfall in the area.

He noted that at the completion of the project, it would provide an enduring solution to the problem.

Okowa, however, expressed optimism that before the year’s dry season, residents of the areas would begin to enjoy respite from flood as it would have been drastically checked by the Storm Drainage projects.

The governor appealed to them to be patient with the government on the Storm Drainage scheme targeted at making flooding in the area a thing of the past.

He commended the people for their cooperation and urged them to continue to support the state government in its drive toward attainment of a “Stronger Delta” agenda.
