Amaechi Inspects Ongoing Projects

Governor Chibuike Amaechi began last week with
unscheduled visits to various projects scattered in different parts of the state. He had within a space of two days visited the Rumuolumeni and Ogbogoro roads in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
He had earlier visited the Dr. Peter Odili/Woji by-pass road to see the level of work on site. On Sunday, however, after unveiling the newly constructed Cathedral of the African Chruch on Aggrey Road, the governor in company of Chief Andrew Uchendu and Senator Magnus Abe inspected works at the new Stadium at Greater Port Harcourt City.
On Monday last week, the All Progressive Congress (APC) Ward Congress was held peacefully across the state. The ward congress had been described by APC chieftains as successful and without rancour.
Within the week, the state joined other states in the federation to commemorate the World Health Day. State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sampson Parker,  said so far the state has recorded huge success in health delivery.
Since Amaechi administration came to power, he noted that diseases and other health related hazard have reduced following the construction and equipping of Primary Health Centres in all parts of the state. He also dismissed fears that the state was susceptible to Ebola Virus attack, assuring that modalities are in place to check possible attack of the killer virus.
On Thursday, a chieftain of the APC and son of popular opposition figure in the state, Inye Marshall Harry, addressed pressmen over governorship race in 2015.
Inye Harry, who affirmed that the governorship of the state is hinged on “political fairness and mutual understanding,” noted that going by the principle of rotation, the Ikwerres have been ruled out of the race.
At the conclusion of Governor Amaechi’s tenure next year, the Kalabari-born politician rooted for Rivers South East Senatorial District or Eastern Delta Ijaws to contest the guber race next year.
The governor returned to the state on Saturday, after attending the white wedding of the daughter of President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. On arriving at Port Harcourt, he headed straight to Ogu, headquarters of Ogu-Bolo Local Government Area, where a reception and traditional title was bestowed on the chairperson of the Council, Dame Maureen Tamuno.
Amaechi praised Dame Tamuno for her hardwork, commitment and vision in transforming  the Ogu-Bolo Local Government Area.
The Rivers State governor, who was visibly impressed by Dame Tamuno’s developmental strides donated N50 million to the council boss to aid her in rural electrification project. He urged her to ensure that all parts of the local government area were lit.
He, however, tasked her to ensure that the local government area is won by the APC in the upcoming election, while urging the people to join the new party, which he said will salvage them.
The governor also promised to complete and equip the new model school before October, this year.
