Pro-Wike lawmakers’ seats remain vacant, I won’t present budget – Fubara

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has assured of the timely completion of the five-kilometre Okania-Ogbogoro Road in Akpor area of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, on Monday.

According to the statement, Fubara gave the assurance shortly after embarking on a long trek of the road, inspecting culverts, drainages, texture of the surface layers of the road work, and receiving explanations from the Commissioner for Works, Elloka Tasie-Amadi, who accompanied him on the inspection tour.

Fubara said, “You are aware that two months ago, we came here to flag off this project, having considered the importance of this road; knowing fully well what our people are suffering because of the Ring Road we are constructing.

“So, we are here this evening to assess the level of work going on here. I think from what we are seeing, it is better than what we met the first time we came here.

“The contractor has assured us that they have done 90 percent of the drainage work; and following the raining season, they are expecting to achieve a greater part of the project hopefully within August and September.”

Continuing, the governor noted that the road which has been abandoned for about 14 years could be set for commissioning by December, saying, “All things been equal, he has also assured us that by December, if we miss November, we will be coming here to commission this road.

“You can see how excited our people are. It is a road that has been abandoned for over 14 years. So, it means this project means a lot to the people living here.

“And for us as a government, it also means a lot that we are doing something that is touching the lives of our people.”

He therefore urged the people to exercise patience as a good quality road would be delivered for their use very soon, adding that the only thing the government expects from the people is their total support while maintaining peace in their communities.
