Aniagwu said the road projects have become necessary as some are in deteriorating conditions that posed difficulties to motorists and residents, as such rehabilitation and reconstruction of them are aimed to improve road conditions, ease traffic movement, and address infrastructure challenges in the state.

On the building of the Delta State Electricity Regulatory Commission, Aniagwu said the electricity regulatory commission’s office would support the state’s efforts to develop its electricity market following reforms that have expanded the role of state governments in the power sector, adding that the state was working to leverage the new regulatory framework to strengthen its electricity sector.

He said the government remained focused on implementing its development plans and delivering projects across the state, adding that preparations for the 2027 general elections would not distract the administration from its responsibilities.
