-


It was the first time the monarch  drove in a vehicle into Ode Itsekiri  since ascension of the throne of his forebears nearly three years ago.

The community currently is not accessible by road from Warri. Vanguard gathered that a road project   to the community started  over ten years ago with the project about 70 percent completed.  The road to the community will run through about 16 bridges.

Secretary of the Warri council of Chiefs,Chief Eugene Ikomi who was  among  others on the trip with the monarch said  on his face book wall that  they got on a Pontoon at Jalla to Ugbodede community and from there drove to Ode Itsekiri  in barely fifteen minutes.

“We actually drove from Warri Township to Ode-Itsekiri (Big Warri)

“We crossed several bridges after being lifted by a Pontoon from Ijala to Ugbodede from whence we commenced a Fifteen Minutes drive to the Itsekiri Ancestral Home.

“Am glad to be part of this Historic trip.

“God bless Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR the Olu of Warri.”, he said.

The trip by the monarch and his entourage elicited jubilation in Ode Itsekiri and across all  Itsekiri communities  as it signaled hope that the town would soon be completely accessible by road from Warri.

Two other Hilux vehicles belonging to the road construction firm handling the project also drove towards another direction in the community.

” We are praying for the road to be completed soonest. This tour of the road by the Olu of Warri  will speed up work on the road project. ” Misan , a resident in Ubeji, Warri said. 

Alero who resides in Ugbuwangwe,Warri said  when the road is completed it will be easy for people to shuttle between Warri and  Ode Itsekiri,  adding that it will step up economic activities in the community.
