Yesterday, September 11th 2012 a big crater opened up at the middle of the Benin- Abraka Road near the Ikpe river. We are calling on the Ministry of  N iger Delta to instruct RCC to move to that site immediately before it start to kill our people. As a matter of fact that Federal road is the only federal presence in the whole of Orhionmwon Local Government area.

The attention of the Federal Ministry of/for the Niger Delta is urgently needed to deal with the issues arising from the road construction going on along the Benin-Abraka Road. The road as you are all aware was awarded for construction by the Ministry in 2010 to the Reynolds Construction Company, RCC. But 2 years on they have only done about 8 kilometres. The road is one of the major link-road between Edo State and Delta Statel It links Benin City to the University town of Abraka and Benin City to the food basket of Edo State, Orhionmwion Local Government Area. The question people are asking is has the Federal Government not meant their obligation to the contractor for the job? If they have, how much was paid and what is the duration for the execution of the contract? If RCC is capable of constructing the Road, why is it taking them forever?
