QUICK WINS

We are aware of the expectations from the citizenry, for government to deliver quickly, the dividends of democracy. The comrade governor has however repeatedly said that this administration will deliver good quality and durable infrastructure to the people and will not repeat the mistakes made by past administrators by embarking on road construction works without adequate design. We all know the result of such experience. This administration, will among other things, adequately plan its projects before commencement of construction. This is very much the case with road construction. The need for planning and design, to ensure that mitigating factors including deflooding of the roads are taken into account, cannot be overemphasized. We have however selected some roads that do not require much design efforts and have decided to commence constructing them without delay. These roads are: Five Junction (Midwest Street, Iheya Street, 3rd Cemetery Road, Ivbiye Street), Siluko Road (Phase 1) and Constain/Isonorho Road. Government has invited and received tenders from contractors to be engaged in the projects. These tenders are currently being analyzed.
