Fubara To Inaugurate Agba-Ndele Road Project In May

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has announced plans to inaugurate the Agba-Ndele bridge project alongside the adjoining 14-kilometre Ndele-Omofo-Agba-Ndele road, in May this year.

Fubara gave the indication last Friday during an inspection tour of the project located in Emohua Local Government Area of the state. The road  also connects  communities in Abua/Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The governor expressed delight and satisfaction over the level of progress on the project since his last visit to the site about a year ago.

Highlighting the strategic           importance of the bridge, he said: “This bridge is called the Agba-Ndele Bridge.  It  connects the Abua section to the Emohua section. I am really happy that today, you can see for yourself that the bridge is fully completed.”

Fubara also commended the contracting firm, Setraco Nigeria Limited, for its professionalism and commitment to the project timeline.

“I want to commend the contractor, Setraco, for a good job. It is a good job considering the time we came here and what we have seen today. They were really committed and they  have shown that they truly have the professional expertise to deliver at the right time,” he said.

The governor further disclosed that he had received assurances from the contractor handling the  road project that the remaining work would be completed before the end of May.

“I have already spoken with the contractors and they assured us that before the end of May they will deliver it.

“For that reason, we are going to delay the inauguration of this bridge until that other section is completed,” the governor stated.

He said that the project reflects the administration’s commitment to improving infrastructure across the State.

“So far, I feel happy that we are doing our best to improve on what we met on ground on assumption of office,” Fubara said.
