NURTW Hails Wike On Road Projects
The Rivers State chap
ter Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Pastor Ominayebagba Duma Kalango, says the operation zero pot holes and the completion of some major abandoned road projects of the previous administrations alone have justified Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike’s one year in office in the state.
Pastor Kalango stated this on Wednesday in a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt.
He said Governor Wike can be described as the best Governor compared to the past administration’s achievements in one year.
He said as a transport worker in the state, he can authoritatively confirm that traffic jams have reduced to the barest minimum due to the adequate maintenance of roads in Port Harcourt and its environs by the present administration in the state.
Kalango also attributed the recent limitation of broken down vehicles along major roads in the garden city to the effective handling of zero pot holes by Governor Wike’s government in just one year.
He appealed to the Governor to ensure that the good gesture is maintained and extended to other parts of the state.
On the area of security, Kalango said though the government is trying, there is the need to double its effort with security agencies to reduce crime rate in the state.
Lamenting that crime rate, especially kidnapping and robbery had increased not only in Rivers State but in the country generally, Kalango cited an instance where the traditional ruler of Yeghe community in Ogoniland was recently whisked away by unknown gunmen in the area.
He urged politicians to play politics with the fear of God, saying, the last political imbroglio experienced in the state did more harm than good to the good image of the state.
