WARRI - WORRIED by the damages the over-laying has caused on the Airport Road, Warri, the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA Warri Branch has called on Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta State Governor to immediately halt the overlaying and restore it to its original state.


The NBA made call in statement signed by Mr. John.O. Aikpokpo-Martins, Esq. and O.A. Okpakpor, Esq, Chairman and Secretary respectively yesterday.

The NBA said the activities on the road has made the road surface to be bumpy and hazardous to vehicular traffic.

The NBA pleged his resolve in collaborating with the Delta State
Government in ensuring that living in Warri metropolis is much more easier, pleasurable and considerably stress free.

" It is common knowledge that the said road which traverses both the Uvwie and Warri South Local Government Areas of the State was before now, smoothly laid out with asphalt and indeed, afforded motorists a pleasurable and easy ride.

"The attendant loss in man-hours occasioned by the persistent and
avoidable hold-ups, damage to vehicles that daily ply the route and
immeasurable stress suffered by motorists alike, are unimaginable."

While noting that the NBA is not interested in the government's
rationale in continuing with the over-laying projects of airport road it  inherited from the immediate past administration, the NBA expressed disappointment with the Delta State Government over the continued over-laying of the airport road.
