The House Of Representative Members Representing Okpe, Uvwie, Sapele, and Ethiope East and West Federal Constituencies, RT. Hon. Efe Anthony Afe and RT. Hon Ben Rolands Igbakpa have jointly moved and supported a Motion for the reconstruction of the Warri-Sapele-Benin Roads and Sapele-Amukpe to Agbor road in Delta State.

The Lawmakers noted that the importance of road infrastructure in social-economic development cannot be over-emphasized, hence the need to reconstruct the parlous Warri-Sapele-Benin road and Sapele-Amukpe to Agbor road that serves Edo, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers States with other South-South oil-producing States in particular and Nigeria.

In their motion, they asserted that the major road of about 104.5km distance was constructed 27 years ago and is the most preferred route for articulated vehicles used for oil and gas haulage operating from Delta State to other parts of Nigeria.

According to the lawmakers, similar roads in the country that are not as important as Warri-Sapele-Benin Road and Sapele-Amukpe to Agbor road constructed within the same period have undergone rehabilitation while Warri-Sapele-Benin Road and Sapele-Amukpe to Agbor road, through which the country derives its source of wealth, is left in a total state of disrepair.
