\nthe status of a befitting state capital, at the beginning we started with
\nthe airport, the new government house then we did the schools and the
\nhealth sectors, very soon an ultra modern hospital will be completed. ”<\/p>\n
” We have done a lot in Asaba to make it a befitting state capital. This
\nproject started two years ago, not eight years ago and today, we are
\ncommissioning it.”

\nwith the completion of the Utor bridge at Ebu, which constitute an
\narterial road from the South-South and South \u2013East States through Edo
\nstate to Abuja and other parts of Northern Nigeria, this flyover bridge is
\nvery timely\u201d, Dr Uduaghan added.<\/p>\n

\nsuccess, including Deltans for their patience, added, “we envisioned
\nthat there will be a time there will be heavy gridlock in this area, that
\nis why we constructed the flyover.”
\nHe assured Deltans that his administration would continue to execute
\nprojects and called on the people to vote for the gubernatorial candidate
\nof the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and the House
\nof Assembly candidates of the party during the elections.
