Delta agog for Obasanjo
ASABA, the Delta State capital is in a frenzy for the arrival today, of President Olusegun Obasanjo, who begins a three-day official visit to the state.
CAJETAN MMUTA, Asaba
Already, designated centres, communities and towns where President Obasanjo will commission some projects are wearing a new look.
Also officials of the state government and the presidential advance party, alongside plain cloth security operatives yesterday stepped up strategies for a hitch-free visit.
Daily Champion checks in parts of Asaba indicates that lawns and drainages along major streets, markets and illegal structure have been cleared.
Also street light along Nnebisi road, which in the past three years had not been lit came alight Tuesday night, leaving residents in disbelief even as known hospitality centres in the city came bubbling with visitors struggling for space.
The state has however, listed about 14 special projects billed for commissioning by the president who will be treated to a boundary reception on arrival from Benin Airport at Alifekede in Agbo-Ika South council area of the state.
