EFFURUN/Nigeria: The Delta State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Special Projects has expressed satisfaction with the progress of the ongoing flyover and road expansion projects in the Effurun and Warri areas, being executed by the state government.

During the visit, Hon. Preyor also applauded the efforts of Julius Berger, the construction firm handling the projects, urging the company to ensure that quality, timely delivery, environmental considerations, and meaningful engagement with host communities remain priorities as the work advances.
The lawmaker, who represents Bomadi Constituency, emphasised that the expansive flyover projects are expected to significantly boost infrastructure, transportation, and economic activities in Warri, Effurun, and surrounding areas. He expressed optimism that the projects, scheduled for completion in December 2025, would be delivered as promised by the contractors.
