The 8th Okrika Legislative Assembly has conducted an oversight inspection of selected ongoing projects being executed by the Okrika Local Government Chairman, Chief Hon. Akuro Alfred Tobin, DSSRS, JP, across the Local Government Area.
The inspection, led by the Leader of the House, Hon. Dr. Paul G. Abam, formed part of the Assembly’s oversight responsibility to monitor project implementation, assess the progress and quality of work, and ensure that government projects serve the needs of residents.
The lawmakers inspected four major project sites, including the Kalio-Ama Concrete Landing Jetty and Passengers’ Waiting Hall, Okrika Central Library, the renovation of a six-classroom block at Community Secondary School, Okochiri, and the ongoing construction of a 40-room twin one-storey Corpers’ Lodge.
The Kalio-Ama jetty project is expected to improve maritime transportation and safety for residents and visitors who depend on the waterways.
At the Okrika Central Library, the Assembly inspected the ongoing construction of the facility, which is expected to provide an educational and research resource for students, young people and other residents.
