Udu Harbour Market Ready April 2025 - Oborevwori

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Monday, said the multi-billion Naira Udu Harbour Market in Udu Local Government Area of the state would be ready for inauguration in April, 2025.

Governor Oborevwori gave the assurance after inspecting ongoing works on the project which, according to him, had been delayed for too long.

Accompanied by the Commissioner for Trade and Investments, Mr. Samuel Oligida, Housing, Hon. Godknows Angele and Oil and Gas Chief Vincent Oyibode, Governor Oborevwori, while assuring the contractor of prompt payments of his certificates, warned that his administration had zero tolerance for shoddy jobs. He urged him to work harder to deliver the project on time as promised.

Governor Oborevwori said: "I was here for a function about two weeks ago, and I promised to come here and inspect this project with a view to fast tracking it.

"Contract for this project was awarded in 2006 and the initial contractor abandoned the project and it was re-awarded. I was here with the immediate past Governor when I was Speaker, to inspect this project."

"From 2023 to now, you can see the level of improvement on the project. When we came the  last time, the fence was not there and the new buildings were not there as well."

"I made a promise that no project would be abandoned and it is important to note that this project is very key to the people Udu and environs."

"The project comprises 600 lockup shops and 122 open shops, and if it is completed in a very short time, as we expect it will, it will serve the economic needs of the people of this area."

"Keep working because we will not delay your payments, whether I come for inspection or not; I have with me here the Special Adviser on Project Monitoring and Audit, Dr. Goodnews Agbi."

"He will be coming to oversee what you are doing here to take measurements and also look at the quality of work you are doing because what we want is quality jobs.  We don't want substandard jobs."
