Deputy Governor of Delta State, Barrister Kingsley Otuaro on Wednesday said the State Government would consider the perception of benefitting communities and other stakeholders in arriving at a collective decision on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Scheme in Effurun-Warri.
Otuaro spoke at the Governor’s Office Annex in Warri at a meeting convened for Stakeholders to get firsthand information even as he sought support for the present administration in its determination to be fair and just in distribution and execution of basic amenities in the state.
Despite the slide show presentation by representative of the contracting firm, Mr. Biodun Otunola, on the viability and delivery of a standard BRT project, which he said was currently hampered by funding and compensation matters, several stakeholders were not persuaded.
The Ovie (King) of Uvwie Kingdom, Abe I, former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the State, Chief Victor Otomevwo, amongst several others spoke against the project, saying it had brought untold hardship. The people largely advocated for dualization of the road to address frequent traffic jams currently experienced.
The Deputy Governor said as soon as issues bordering on the BRT project are sorted out, the State Government would make its decision known to Deltans, Senior Special Assistant to the deputy governor on (Communication and Press), Bulou Kosin said in a statement on Thursday.
