“When we were appealing and seeking the support of the people of Mgbuodohia, we promised, and the then governor assured you that his successor will complete the project. Today, we are here to bring alive that promise.
“To us as a government, our mantra is consolidation and continuity. We will continue to consolidate on every good project, every noble idea initiated. We will give all the necessary support to see that they continue to come to limelight”.
In his address, the Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Barrister George Ariolu, said the completion and commissioning of the Mgbuodohia Internal Roads Project was part of the joy derived by the Obio/Akpor people in giving their overwhelming support to the governor.
He assured that the support would be sustained to enable the governor succeed in governance.
