The Rivers State Governor, Chief  Nyesom Wike will today commission 50 units  housing at the Iriebe new satellite Town in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.
Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Emma Okah who conducted newsmen round the apartments said that the development was part of the Government’s commitment towards providing affordable accommodation to the citizenry.
Mr. Okah also said that the situation marks Governor Wike’s desire to provide accommodation to majority of people residing in the State, adding that the most significant of the project was that the flats were started and completed by the Administration within two months of the present Administration.
He also said that, Governor Wike has shown that providing accommodation to 50 Rivers families is a big deal, adding that with the commissioning, the government would go back to the drawing board with a view to reviving other housing estates abandoned  by previous administrations in the state.
The Commissioner also said that the Government was also planning to evict all illegal occupants of its hosing estates, stressing that those affected have already been issued with quit notices.
He  advised those that will occupy the estate to keep it in good shape adding that plans have been concluded to work with the communities to ensure peace and security in the estate.
Mr. Okah also said that the estate would be hooked to the national grid as soon as possible.
