GOVERNOR Emmanuel Uduaghan, Thursday, commissioned four legacy projects of the Warri South Local Government Area, Chairman, Mr. Mofe Edema and commended him for a job well done as proof of his stewardship to the peoples of the council.

The projects, including the a new Administrative Complex for the “A’ Division Police Station, Warri, which was built at the cost of N32million; the Legislative Complex in the Warri South council Secretariat, which was also built at the cost of N35 million.

Others are the King George V Centenary Hall, built at the cost of N66 million and the rehabilitation of the Merogun Primary School , Iyara, all in the oil city.

In his keynote address on the occasion, Governor Uduaghan, who said police must not continue to remain in colonial buildings, expressed his gratitude to the Warri South  council chairman, Mr. Edema, for carrying out all the projects to completion, adding that though the council has the largest number of primary schools in the state, the council boss has been able to commission about 85 projects during his tenure.

The governor also called on the council workers to maintain the projects the chairman had put in place, saying that without imbibing the maintenance culture, the projects would be ruined.

“This is a council we call zero allocation council because by the time you pay primary school teachers from the allocation that comes from Abuja, what was left is always zero. Out of zero allocation, he has been able to squeeze water out of stone and I want to thank God for his life,” the Governor said.
