Odimodi Community Embarks on Major Self-Development Projects
By Admin
Odimodi – In a significant step towards enhancing local infrastructure, the Odimodi community has launched two major self-development projects aimed at improving road connectivity within the area. These initiatives are seen as the first of many promised by the new administration led by Comr. New-world Endoro, fondly known as ‘Dr.’ New-world Endoro.
The two projects, which are already underway, include the town planning (clearing, surveying, and maintenance of a 2.4-kilometer road.) This road is vital for the community, as it connects various parts of Odimodi and provides a structured landscape for future property developers, as the community continues to grow. In addition to this, the administration has also commenced the completion of an uncompleted link road to the community Central Garage, which has been a longstanding need for the community.
‘Dr.’ New-world Endoro, who assumed office with a vision to transform Odimodi, expressed his commitment to fulfilling all promises made during his campaign. He emphasized that these projects mark the beginning of a broader development plan aimed at taking Odimodi to new heights.
In a call to action, ‘Dr.’ Endoro and his executives have urged all members of the community, including elites, stakeholders, chiefs, elders, women, and youths, to join hands in supporting these projects. “This is a collective effort,” said Dr. Endoro. “We need everyone to come together and contribute to the growth and development of our beloved community.”
These proactive steps taken by Odimodi have been lauded as a model for other communities in the region to follow. This has also prompted a growing advocacy for government agencies and companies operating around the Forcados Island to recognize the foresight and determination of the Odimodi people. Many are calling for Shell and Gov. Oborevwori to commence the reconstruction of the Odimodi-Ogulagha road, a critical infrastructure that will significantly boost economic activities in the area.
As the Odimodi community rallies together, there is a palpable sense of optimism and determination. With these projects, the community is not only improving its infrastructure but also setting a precedent for self-driven development that could inspire neighboring areas.
