Gov Wike, Bala Mohammed Commission 10.3km Road in Ogoni
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says his administration is committed to making sure that every Local Government Area in the state gets development projects.
Governor Wike gave the assurance at the inauguration of the 10.3km long Sime-Nonwa-Kira road in Tai Local Government Area, which was performed by the Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed on Monday.
Governor Wike said, few months ago, when he flagged off the road, people thought it will be abandoned, but today, it has been completed and is being commissioned.
According to the governor, all projects awarded by his administration will be completed before the end of his tenure, and no one project will be abandoned.
“Some people say we have been commissioning projects in Port Harcourt and ObioAkpor Local Government Areas. That, there are no projects in other local governments.
“This is Tai and it is in Ogoni land and we have projects here that we are commissioning now.
“When we flagged off this road, so many were thinking that it will be one of the abandoned projects. I have said, no contract awarded by our administration will be abandoned. All projects must be completed before we leave office.”
Inaugurating the road, Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed applauded Governor Wike for delivering such quality road project that connects several communities to ease movement of rural dwellers.
Senator Mohammed noted he feels proud to be a Nigerian anytime he sees how Governor Wike in spite of imposing challenges, has continued to deliver democratic dividends to Rivers people.
“When I see the quality of this road and the community where it is sited; in Ogoni Land, traversing all these communities and the kind of good sermon given by the Local Government Chairman, and even the Commissioner of Works, I felt elated that I am a Nigerian.
