The Executive Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area, Hon. Dr. Julius Takeme, in company of the Delta State Commissioner for Housing and Chairman of the Burial Venue Committee, Rt. Hon. Godknows Angele, on Friday inspected the ongoing preparations at the burial venue of the late elder statesman, Chief Pa Edwin Clark, in Akiagbodo.

The visit was aimed at assessing the state of readiness of key facilities and ensuring that arrangements are in place for a dignified and well-organised ceremony. The duo expressed satisfaction with the progress of work, commending the efforts of the organising team and workers  on site.

Among the areas inspected were the main burial arena, the church slated for the final funeral rites, and the designated parking space for invited dignitaries. Workers were observed mounting canopies, setting up chairs, and grading roadways to ease access to the venue.

Speaking during the inspection, Dr. Takeme lauded the coordination and commitment of those involved in the preparations. He assured that all logistics would be completed in good time to honour the legacy of the late Chief Pa Edwin Clark.

Preparations are in top gear as the community, the planning committee and the local government get set to host dignitaries and mourners from across the country for the final rites of the respected leader.
