RSG Begins Rumuepirikom, Rumuolumeni Road Reconstruction

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has explained that the state government would ensure the total reconstruction of the Rumuepirikom-Rumuolumeni Road to create access to major companies, military and educational institutions in the area.
In an interview with journalists after project inspection, last Friday, Wike said that the contractor has been mobilised to site to rehabilitate the road.
The governor said that the road which was earlier constructed failed because of a few discrepancies between the contractor and the supervising agencies.
“When the people suffer due to bad roads, it makes me unhappy. My goal is to make sure that our people are happy.
“The contractor is back to site. I believe in the company and they will deliver at the end of day. However, supervision will be stepped up”, he said.
Wike said that the Rivers State Government would mount pressure on the contractor to ensure that they expedite action on the road.
He said: “This road is a very important road. It leads to the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Nigerian Navy Shipyard (NNS) Pathfinder, Eagle Cement and other companies.
“I am not happy with the condition of the road. Therefore, we want to see the contractor expedite action on the road”.
He assured that several internal roads in the area would be reconstructed by the state government, and inspected ongoing construction works in different parts of the community.
Earlier in the day, the governor had inspected construction work in both Old and New GRA in Port Harcourt, before inspecting concluding works at the Judges’ Quarters.
