Lawmaker Proposes Pedestrian Bridge For Pleasure Park

Lawmaker representing Obio/Akpor Constituency II in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Michael Chinda has proposed a pedestrian bridge across Aba Port Harcourt Expressway for leisure seekers using the Pleasure Park in Port Harcourt.
Hon. Chinda made the proposal while calling for projects to be sited in the constituency recently.
The lawmaker said the project had become important considering the huge number of residents and other fun seekers who used the facility located along the Port Harcourt /Aba Expressway.
He stressed the need for more capital projects in the state as the population kept increasing.
If the bridge is constructed according to Chinda, it will boost safety and easy traffic flow along the road, as he condemned the current scenario where pedestrians cross the expressway on foot.
On his part, member representing Asari-Toru I at the House, Hon. Enemi George Alabo, mooted for a contingency fund to provide for areas not well captured in the budget.
Hon. Alabo suggested that the current budget as approved and assented by the governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, will boost development in the state, as it covered all sectors of the economy.
In the same vein, member representing Etche I Constituency, Hon. Tony Ejiogu, sought for the inclusion of Umerebule / Ikwerre-Nkwo / Chokota Road in this year’s capital projects.
Hon Ejiogu said the road was very crucial in driving the economy of the local people who dwell more on agriculture and other farming related businesses.
Responding, the speaker, Rt Hon. Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani praised the lawmakers for their contributions, while calling on them to ensure that the needs of their constituencies were well captured.
