Motorists, Others Laud Wike On Road Rehabilitation 

Residents of Rumuolumeni in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State have commended the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, for his promise to embark on rehabilitation work on key roads in the area before the end of the month.
The Tide reports that before the governor’s promise, the people of Rumuolumeni had made several calls on the state government to rehabilitate the roads which they said have crippled the economy of the place as well as hampered their efforts to fight insecurity in the area.
Speaking to The Tide, a resident in the area, Bekwele Worlu, told TheTide that the deplorable condition of many internal roads in Rumuolumeni had slowed down economic activities in the area.
According to him, most tenants have relocated while many shop owners were out of business due to the inaccessibility of roads in the area.
He posited that Rumuolumeni has always been an economically viable town that contributed immensely to the economy of the state, but wondered why such a community would be neglected in the area of road infrastructure.
He therefore, appealed to the state government to create an enabling environment for business to thrive in the area.
Similarly, motorists plying Ada-George/Ngbuoba NTA route have also commended the efforts of Governor Wike for embarking on remediation work on the road.
A motorist, Ebuka Nwangbo, told our correspondent that before remediation work commenced on the road, the level of flooding experienced at the location junction was alarming.
He however, expressed joy that the ongoing work on the road would assuage the feelings of road users in the area.
