New Commissioners’ Quarters Ready In Nov – Fubara  

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has stated  that the new residential accommodation being built by the state government  for Commissioners and Special Advisers will be completed and ready for use by November 2026.

The governor disclosed this while inspecting the project, last Thursday.

He stated that his administration embarked  on the construction of a  centralised residential quarters for senior officials to eliminate the heavy financial burden rented accommodation has placed  on the state government.

He said that besides eliminating the burden  of exorbitant rent,  the new quarters will help the state government to save cost on security as it will provide adequate  arrangement for the security of senior officials at one location.

“It  looks so embarrassing that the government will be spending a lot of money renting places for these senior officials.

“So, we decided to embark on this project, believing that when this project is completed, and accommodation provided for our very productive officers, efficiency will  be an issue of top priority.

“When they are all living together, I think it makes it easy for us to have just one unit of security and this multiple  arrangement of  carrying police here and there will also stop,” he said.

The project, which is being handled by Shaanxi Construction Engineering Nigeria Limited, consists of 25 units of six-bedroom flats. It  is  located within the Rainbow Housing  Estate along the Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout in Port Harcourt.

Fubara, who defied the rain and muddy terrain to inspect the project,  was conducted around the construction site  by the Commissioner for Special Projects, Hon. Tonye Belgam, and officials of the construction company.

The governor commended the contractors for their commitment towards meeting the November timeline.
