THE Director General (DG) of the Warri/Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency (WUEDA), Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay has enjoined Uvwie youths to conduct themselves properly with contracting firms handling projects for the state government.
Macaulay, who was speaking at a meeting with representatives of youths from Uvwie communities, said it was imperative for the youth to conduct themselves in a manner that would engender peace and a conducive environment for the master drainage project to go on unhindered.
According to him, the youth of Warri south were collaborating well with the contractor and had freely opted to work without preconditions to the government or the contractor.
He denied speculations that the Uvwie local government chairman, Honourable Ramson Onoyake, had been settled with respect to the drainage project, stressing that the council boss had no direct relationship with the contractor.
Macaulay, who is a former Secretary to the Delta State Government (SSG), explained that he brought the Council boss on board because of the need to ensure that the Agency carried everyone along, as it would be easier for him to relate with his people whenever issues arose.
He advised the youth not to allow anything to cause quarrel amongst them, adding that they should always manage whatever was made available to them amicably.
The DG disclosed that he would not hesitate to report to the State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the conduct of the youth as the job progressed, pointing out that the Community Liaison Officer (CLO) appointed by the community was on site on a daily basis to ensure that the youth and the community were carried along.
Responding, the Uvwie Community Liaison Officer (CLO), Mr. Kingsley Erhiabor, noted that the youth were happy that the project was being executed in their area, and expressed their readiness to work with the Agency to ensure peace and harmony.
Macaulay also met with representatives of youths from Warri south, and expressed gratitude to them for their cooperation and peaceful disposition so far.
