They also lamented the deplorable state of the only school in the area, Ohwekwe Primary School.
Glory Michael Asiughwure, President/Founder of Royal Diadem Apostolic Church in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area, who spoke on behalf of the community, said previous governments ignored Okuoke, making it the only community with untarred roads. “The primary school is not developed, no road. The two roads which enter the community, the one that leads to Warri Road and this other one, they’re all covered by the river. A lot of the youths here are crying for employment. There are lots of things that we actually niece that the government can help us with.”
The councillor representing the people of DSIEC Ward 16, Elume INEC Ward 10 in the Sapele Local Government Council, Aligba Solomon Ukohoro, who spoke with DAILY POST, expressed sadness about the state of the road.
