By: Marvellous Ozeghe

Residents of Walter Odeli street in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State have  appealed to the State Government to fix the road which links Oil Field road and 3rd Marine Gate.

The residents made the appeal weekend when newsmen visited the area.

The residents noted that they suffer great hardship during the rainy season, occasioned by the deplorable state of the road and lack of drainage system.

One of the residents, Mrs. Pat Ologbo noted that some of her co-resident evacuated their homes to other destinations due to flooding which left so many houses and commercial stores vacant.

Another resident of the area, Miss Ogechi Osihen an apprentice in one of the commercial stores in the area  noted that, “ the environment is flooded when it rains,” suggesting that the Direct Labour Agency, DLA and other government interventionist agencies be mobilized to repair the road by the Delta State Government.

Mrs. Ann Idowu a business woman and resident of Walter Odeli Street attributed her defeat in business to the flood and the deplorable state of the road just as she appealed to the Delta State Government to the aid
of residents in the area.
