Emeka (not real name) had taken his wife to the health centre in Umuoyoro-Ngwa community that fateful evening. She had fallen into labour and like every other woman in the community, the health centre was the only place to go. He had prepared to welcome a baby but had not planned for what would happen next.

His wife did deliver a baby girl but then developed complications and had to be transferred to a bigger hospital on another side of town. He would have done that but the road to the community cannot be assessed at that time of the night so, he had to wait till morning to find a way to get her into town. Sadly, his wife could not wait that long. She passed leaving her new baby and husband behind.

The road is expected to extend from Umuojima Ogbu in Abia State, passing through Umuojima Okereke, Umuoyoro Ngwa, Amaoji in Rivers State and crisscross through Umuonyia, Omuma LGA in Rivers State back to Amapu-ife to Abayi-Ariaria/Faulks Road in Abia State.The contract had been awarded to a company named El Badu and Associates listed as a private company based in Port Harcourt without any known sector.

Since its formation, the Niger Delta Development Commission has been embroiled in several controversies. Over N6trn has been invested to help improve the environmental and living conditions in the states that make up the oil-rich Niger Delta. The report which focused on monitoring NDDC 2019-approved projects in 5 states revealed that 22% of the tracked projects are abandoned, while over 47% are non-existent. So far, the NDDC is only able to complete 26% of its projects while 4% are ongoing.
