“We will continue to deliver on critical infrastructure as much as God permits and as long as our finances can carry us.
“We have done several hundreds of roads since the inception of this administration. We are just picking few out for inauguration.
“God has helped us to link our various communities and the internal roads within our townships.
“We will continue to do what is best for us to do. Even though we have two years to finish, we will remain on track and ensure we work till the very last day of our administration,” he said.
The governor thanked the Isoko people for their support and prayers.
“I thank the people of Oleh and Isoko nation for the love they have shown to our administration in the past six years.
“I thanked the royal fathers and the youth for providing the enabling environment. I assure you that the partnership between the government and the people remains real.
