A housing unit commissioned the governor

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that his administration has fulfilled its campaign promises even as he commissioned 50 Medium Income Flats in Iriebe Satellite Town in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Wike was happy that the Commissioner for Housing, Hon. Emma Okah, and his team were able to complete this project before his 100 days in office.
Quite satisfied with the performance of Okah, he said: “It shows that when you are given an assignment and is committed to it, the result will always be good.”
Wike explained that the 50 housing units are for the medium income class and low–high income class for the people of Rivers State.
The state chief executive, who urged the commissioner to sell the housing units at affordable prices to people, said: ”I want to see people occupy these flats in the next two weeks at affordable prices. My government is not a business organization. My government is here to provide welfare support for the citizenry for the betterment of their lives. I want to assure the people of Rivers State in general, and  Obio/Akpor in particular, that with the support you have given to my administration, I will make sure that all promises made to you during my campaign tour are fulfilled.”
Speaking earlier, the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Hon. Bright Amaewhule, thanked Wike for matching his words with action.
He said: “We are happy and delighted that the enemy has been put to shame. All your projects are speaking for you, and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).”
In his remarks, Okah thanked the governor for keeping to his promises.
“I thank you for showing the way and demonstrating that there are leaders, and there are leaders. I recall that during your rigorous campaign period, you said to the people that you were going to provide affordable accommodation for those who are doing businesses in Rivers State, and the indigenes of Rivers State. You went ahead to translate your words into action”, Okah added.
Similarly, the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has commissioned the Oyigbo Market Road, in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The governor, who chastised the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Hon. Nnamdi Ihute, for his poor refuse disposal mechanism, noted that Oyigbo is a gateway into Port Harcourt, and should be clean.
His words: “This is the last time I will come to this LGA for an occasion, and see refuse littered everywhere like this. I will not accept it next time. Oyigbo is one of the signpost LGAs of Rivers State, and should be treated as such.”
Wike recalled that he promised to complete the construction of the road, if voted into power as governor, and thanked God that he was able to do it within his 100 days in office.
The state chief executive promised the people of the area that from January, 2016, he will repair the road from the Railway line to the boundary between Rivers State and Abia State.
The governor also vowed to fix the road between Oyigbo and Eleme because of its strategic importance to the people of both local government areas.
He enjoined the people of the area to continuously support and pray for him, stressing that his administration was anchored on God, and promised to fulfill whatever promises he made during his campaign tour of the area.
“This administration is not a media administration; it is based on facts. It is a come-and-see-for-yourself government”, Wike vaunted.
Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Dr. Paulinus Nkwoala, disclosed that the road is 10.745 km long and 10 meters wide, with an underground drainage of 1.7km long.
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has ordered the repair of the bad spot along the Port Harcourt-Aba Expressway around the Imo River bridge boundary between Rivers and Abia states in Oyigbo Local Government Area.
He made the disclosure shortly after unveiling the newly completed Oyigbo Market Road in Oyigbo Local Government Area last week.
It would be recalled that Wike had ordered similar repairs along the Eleme/East-West Road, following the poor state of the road, recently.
The governor said the measure is to ameliorate the plight of the people and road users since Oyigbo is one of the gateways into the state.
The governor also disclosed plans to reconstruct the road linking Oyigbo and Eleme saying, “whatever promise I made to you, I will complete fulfil them.”
Wike added, “We will continue to make our people happy, our administration does not thrive on propaganda but poised to touch the lives of the people.”
He promised that his administration will further extend the road from the railway down to the boundary between the state and Abia.
Calling on the people of the area to maintain the road, the governor frowned at the indiscriminate dumping of refuse along the major roads in the area, and tasked the council authorities to evolve measures to check the menace.
