After 23 Years of Neglect, NDDC Constructs First Ever Tarred Road to Edo State Polytechnic, Usen,

By
After 23 Years of Neglect, NDDC Constructs First Ever Tarred Road to Edo State Polytechnic, Usen, By EgbemaVoice  For over twenty-three years, Edo State Polytechnic in Ovia-South West Local Government Area existed without a functional road network. Not a single metre of tarred road served this academic community.

In alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I am proud that the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), in strong collaboration with the Edo State Government, has decisively changed that narrative. Under my leadership, the Commission has delivered a total of 4.8 kilometres of asphalt pavement within this institution—comprising 4.59 kilometres of internal road network and a 205-metre dual ca...
