Yenagoa Angry indigenes of Okoroba community in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, led by a 90-year- old woman, Madam Omiekumo Numo, yesterday, protested against the abandonment of the Opume-Okoroba Road project by the Federal Government.
The 10 km road project, which is to link the coastal town of Okoroba to mainland Ogbia Local Government Area, was awarded in 2011 to Mangrovtech, now known as Kakatar`ce by Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
The project, it was learnt, was abandoned on the grounds of alleged disagreement over compensation and non- availability of sand.
