60 years of waiting ends as Bayelsa communities celebrate road inauguration

After six decades of waiting, residents of the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area in Bayelsa State celebrated the inauguration of the Yenagoa-Oporoma road by President Bola Tinubu. This project, which includes a 630-meter bridge across the Nun River, connects remote communities to the state capital, significantly reducing travel times and transport costs. The Sagbama-Ekeremor-Agge road, also inaugurated, promises to accelerate development in coastal communities, integrating marginalized areas into the state economy.
