The projects, contained in a public tender notice issued by the Delta State Tenders Board, are expected to improve road connectivity in the affected communities when completed.
According to the advertisement, Phase II of the Utagba-Uno–Ndemili Road and the Akaba-Utevie Road (Phase II) form part of a fresh round of infrastructure projects opened for bidding by the state government.
