Ogonis Celebrate Wike …For Keeping Promise On Bori-Saakpenwa Road

The Ogoni people from different communities have celebrated the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike for fulfilling his campaign promises, including starting work on the dualisation of the Saakpenwa-Bori Road and embarking on the total rehabilitation of the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori.
A statement by Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, pointed out that several Ogoni people in separate interviews, at the weekend, expressed happiness that Wike has kept his words.
Those interviewed commended the Wike administration for exhibiting commitment in the execution of the road and the school projects, which will enhance the economy of the area.
A resident of Bori, Barizi Menegbu, noted that the construction of the road has helped the economy  of  the area as many residents have been engaged by the contractors.
In his remarks, David Winda, commended the governor for taking steps to dualise  the Saakpenwa-Bori  Road, which will reduce carnage on the ever busy road that serves Gokana, Khana, Tai, Andoni and Opobo-Nkoro local government areas.
A resident of Saakpenwa town, Ann Inchinga, said the people appreciate the efforts of the Wike administration  because  the road had been abandoned for several years without action from previous administrations.
Also speaking, Lawrence Osam assured the Rivers State Government of the continued support of the Ogoni people on his commitment  to  the  development of the communities.
Foreman of the contractor, Cornelia Gogo, assured that the Saakpenwa-Bori Road will be executed in line with contract specifications, and added that the road will be completed  on schedule.
At the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, the teachers and students sang the praises of Governor Nyesom Wike  for changing their fortunes by rehabilitating  the popular school.
Two teachers, Akpobari Akpoyor and Deezia Barikpoa, said for the first time since they started teaching  in the school, the institution now has modern facilities  that will enhance  the quality  of  teaching  and  learning.
The students said that before the intervention of Governor Nyesom Wike, they had planned to withdraw from the school due to the dilapidated infrastructure that demoralised them in the institution.
They praised the governor for keeping his  promise of reviving the prominent institution in the heartland of Ogoni ethnic nationality.
The students, Deemua Justice, Lebari Dornubari, Maakue Queen Letam, and Lenwi Gold, said they will remain  eternally  grateful to the governor for giving education the top priority attention that it deserves.
Vice Principal, Administration, Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, Mr Kayi Green, commended the quality of rehabilitation of facilities  in the school  by the governor.
He said that learning  and  teaching  have been boosted in the school since the rehabilitation  work started.
It will be recalled that Governor Wike had pledged that the Saakpenwa-Bori Road and the rehabilitation of the Birabi Memorial Grammar School will be completed on schedule as part of his comprehensive programme to develop Ogoni land.
