Growth, Devt Come With Sacrifice — Uduaghan Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has said it was better to bear the pains associated with development than to continuously live in a deplorable condition. Addressing traders at Slaughter Market, Refinery Road, Warri, the governor observed that developmental projects, especially the ongoing removal of illegal structures will certainly cause pains to people but that such pains will be short-lived as palliative measures have also been put in place for people affected by the removal of illegal structures. “We must clean up Warri; we cannot continue to live in a dirty environment”, Dr Uduaghan said, adding, “people should go into the markets and stop using Caravans to trade on the streets.” He added, “we should be proud of a good environment; we should keep our environment clean,” reiterating that he was aware that people are complaining about the pains they are undergoing as a result of the ongoing development in the state. According to him, “I’m ready for this job, if you like curse me or do whatever, it will not hurt me. I’m ready for this job and I pray to God every morning before I go out because, we must ensure a positive change.” It would be recalled that Governor Uduaghan in his administration’s commitment towards ensuring that Warri is clean, set up a high powered committee headed by the Deputy Governor, Prof. Amos Utuama (SAN) to keep Warri clean. In a related development, Governor Uduaghan has ordered stone dealers along Effurun to remove their goods within five days or face the wrath of the law. The Governor, accompanied by top government officials, gave the warning while inspecting the level of progress made by the committee set up to ensure that Warri is clean. He asked the traders to relocate to a safer place where they will not constitute public nuisance with their trade, assuring that things must be done right in the oil-rich state.
