The joy of the people of Olero Creek, a coastal community in Warri North Local Government area of Delta State, knew no bounds weekend as they, for the first time, saw a vehicle driven into their area.
The road leading to the community was part of many projects executed and inaugurated by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in many coastal communities in the local government. The agency inaugurated seven sections of rigid pavement roads covering almost eight kilometres.

Addressing the Olero Creek communities, the NDDC chief executive officer said he was touched by the emotions expressed by the community leaders, adding: “I share in your joy. When you spoke, I felt your positive emotions. Some of you have not seen vehicular traffic before today. Now, by the special grace of God, it is possible for cars to drive around in your communities.”
