Rainy Season Won’t Halt Projects Delivery -Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that the rainy season will not halt his administration’s delivery of critical projects to the people.
Speaking after inspecting ongoing projects in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor local government areas, last Friday, the governor said that the state government engaged first class contractors for key projects because of the commitment to the scheduled delivery of projects despite the challenges of weather.
He said: “The rainy season will not stop work in the state because we are using sharp sand for our roads. Though it is costlier than laterite, it is important for us to keep delivering on our promises”.
It would be recalled that the governor inspected the Bonny/Nembe/Bille Jetty, Creek Road, reconstruction of Produce House Complex on Moscow Road, Rumuokoro Market and Park, Judges’ Quarters and Dualisation of Sani Abacha Road.
The Tide learnt that the Bonny/Nembe/Bille Jetty, which has a modern landing bay, arrival and departure lounges, police post, shopping complex and parking lot is over 50 per cent completed.
According to the governor, “we are happy with the level of work at the Bonny/Nembe/Bille Jetty. The completion of the jetty will improve safety on the waterways.
“We are proud of the work we are doing. Next week, there will be a host of commissioning and flag off of projects. After two years, we have done well and we will sustain the tempo”, he said.
He explained that the construction of the Judges’ Quarters will be flagged off by the Chief Justice of the Federation in the coming weeks.
