Governor of Douye Diri of Bayelsa State says the numerous infrastructure projects his administration had embarked upon are placing the State on the right path to development.
The projects range from big-ticket to access and internal road projects, bridges across creeks and rivers, and physical structures across the state.
Governor Diri stated this during an inspection of ongoing projects in the New Yenagoa City and at the Okaka Housing Estate.
The Bayelsa governor stated that the present administration was building a new planned Yenagoa city.
The governor said the new legislators and the commissioners quarters in the New Yenagoa City were signature projects of the administration and expressed satisfaction with the level of work done
Speaking on the Okaka Housing Estate, Diri stressed that the one-bedroom housing unit project was initiated during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan when he was governor of the state.
He said the project was abandoned for a long time but his administration decided to complete the buildings and would also embark on new housing projects for all Bayelsans.
The governor also noted that the administration
had embarked on several projects by judiciously utilising the state’s monthly allocations without borrowing a dime.
Also, the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Moses Teibowei, assured that the new House of Assembly quarters would be completed for inauguration during the anniversary celebration in February.
In a remark, Managing Director of the Bayelsa State Housing and Property Development Authority, Tonye Isenah, who said the agency had completed 48 units of one-bedroom flats out of the 192 flats added that the project was being executed through direct labour.
