Abraka–Oben Road Reconstruction

The Abraka–Oben Road Reconstruction is a transportation infrastructure intervention executed by the Niger Delta Development Commission in Delta State. The project involved the reconstruction of approximately 9.6 kilometres of road with an 8-metre asphalt carriageway. The intervention required the removal and replacement of more than 80,000 cubic metres of unsuitable material along deteriorated sections of the road. Before reconstruction, the road had become severely deteriorated and difficult to navigate, creating transportation and security challenges for road users. The reconstructed road provides an improved transport connection for residents, businesses, farmers and industrial communities along the Abraka–Oben corridor, supporting the movement of people, agricultural produce and commercial goods. The project was inaugurated by the Minister of Regional Development, Engr. Abubakar Momoh, on 23 February 2025.
