Delta Governor, Okowa’s N30 Billion Drainage Project Collapses Over Use Of ‘Substandard Materials’ 
.
N30 Billion stormwater drainage project executed by the Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, in Asaba has collapsed following the use of substandard materials for the job.
The project is at Edozie Okonkwo Street, behind the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), and it was to control the devastating effects of stormwater, particularly in the state capital, Asaba
.
The collapsed drainage is among the three storm projects embarked upon by the Okowa-led administration.
Okowa last year during a press conference said the state had released N11 billion out of the estimated N30 billion proposed by experts to control the devastating effects of stormwater.
The governor however envisaged that the state government would eventually spend more than the N30 billion on the construction of drains to evacuate floods during the rainy season, considering the N11 billion cost of three drainage projects out of the eight recommended to arrest the flood situation in Asaba.
