The governor who disclosed this  after inspecting the extent of work done at both centres in Owa-Alero, Ika North East Local Government Area of the state, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done by both contractors, assuring that the projects would be delivered and inaugurated before the end of February.

According to him, both projects were slowed down due to the COVID-19.

Meanwhile,  the two roads and the school  projects in Warri South and Uvwie local government areas of the state had been slated for inauguration on February 1.

The two roads are the double-carriage Ubeji road, Access road from NPA Expressway to Warri Refinery, while the schools are Army Day Secondary School, Effurun and Ighogbadu Secondary School, Warri.

On his part, Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Ukah, said that Army Day Secondary School was one of the 12 model secondary schools embarked upon by the previous administration in the state.
