RSG To Construct Drainages, Resurface Roads In Diobu
The Rivers State Government, says it would soon embark on the construction of drainages and resurfacing of all roads in the Diobu axis of Port Harcourt.
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi announced this yesterday while speaking at the funeral service of Late Mrs Eunice Ihunwo, mother of the lawmaker representing Port Harcourt Constituency II in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Victor Ihunwo, at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Diobu, Port Harcourt.
Governor Amaechi, who noted that the sanitary situation in Diobu needed to be improved upon, said government would replicate the drainage work going on in Port Harcourt Township and re-surface the roads to enable the residents of the area live in a healthy environment.
The governor noted that unlike the past experience where the drains led to nowhere, the new drains would be channeled to the creeks to check flooding in the area.
Governor Amaechi, who extolled the virtues of late Mrs Eunice Ihunwo, urged the family to continue to keep her good deeds alive, noting that she lived a life worthy of emulation.
He urged members of the family to trust in God, especially at this moment of grief and prayed God to give them the fortitude to bear the loss.
In another development, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi also presented medals to athletes who won laurels in the golf event of the on-going 17th National Sports Festival at the golf section of the Port Harcourt Club, 1928.
