The Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Ede Dafinone, has commended President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, for the impressive progress and quality of work on the Benin-Sapele-Effurun Expressway project.
In a statement, Dafinone acknowledged the significant improvements brought about by his letter to the minister and sustained engagements, which he said have resulted in much-needed relief for commuters and businesses along this vital corridor.
The Senator also lauded the recent flag-off of the reconstruction of the Benin-Asaba Expressway, describing it as another testament to President Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to revitalizing Nigeria’s critical infrastructure. He emphasized that these projects are not only crucial for economic growth in Delta State and the Niger Delta region but are also vital for improving national connectivity and trade.
“The commitment of the Tinubu administration to infrastructural renewal is evident in the steady progress on key roads that have for years been in a deplorable state. The ongoing work on the Benin-Sapele-Effurun Expressway and the reconstruction of the Benin-Asaba Expressway reflect the president’s vision for a stronger, more connected Nigeria,” Dafinone remarked.
The Senator also commended Minister Umahi for his proactive approach in ensuring that road projects of national significance are given the necessary attention and funding. “The Ministry of Works’ dedication to quality delivery aligns with the government’s broader strategy of improving road networks and fostering economic development across the country,” Dafinone added.
He encouraged Nigerians, particularly those in the Niger Delta, to continue supporting the Tinubu-led administration as it works to reposition the economy and enhance infrastructure nationwide. Dafinone also reiterated his commitment to advocating for more developmental projects in Delta Central and ensuring the region receives its fair share of federal infrastructure investments.
