The Ogoni people from different communities have celebrated the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike for fulfilling his campaign promises, including starting work on the dualisation of the Saakpenwa-Bori Road and embarking on the total rehabilitation of the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori.
\nA statement by Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, pointed out that several Ogoni people in separate interviews, at the weekend, expressed happiness that Wike has kept his words.
\nThose interviewed commended the Wike administration for exhibiting commitment in the execution of the road and the school projects, which will enhance the economy of the area.
\nA resident of Bori, Barizi Menegbu, noted that the construction of the road has helped the economy\u00a0 of\u00a0 the area as many residents have been engaged by the contractors.
\nIn his remarks, David Winda, commended the governor for taking steps to dualise\u00a0 the Saakpenwa-Bori\u00a0 Road, which will reduce carnage on the ever busy road that serves Gokana, Khana, Tai, Andoni and Opobo-Nkoro local government areas.
\nA resident of Saakpenwa town, Ann Inchinga, said the people appreciate the efforts of the Wike administration\u00a0 because\u00a0 the road had been abandoned for several years without action from previous administrations.
\nAlso speaking, Lawrence Osam assured the Rivers State Government of the continued support of the Ogoni people on his commitment\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 development of the communities.
\nForeman of the contractor, Cornelia Gogo, assured that the Saakpenwa-Bori Road will be executed in line with contract specifications, and added that the road will be completed\u00a0 on schedule.
\nAt the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, the teachers and students sang the praises of Governor Nyesom Wike\u00a0 for changing their fortunes by rehabilitating\u00a0 the popular school.
\nTwo teachers, Akpobari Akpoyor and Deezia Barikpoa, said for the first time since they started teaching\u00a0 in the school, the institution now has modern facilities\u00a0 that will enhance\u00a0 the quality\u00a0 of\u00a0 teaching\u00a0 and\u00a0 learning.
\nThe students said that before the intervention of Governor Nyesom Wike, they had planned to withdraw from the school due to the dilapidated infrastructure that demoralised them in the institution.
\nThey praised the governor for keeping his\u00a0 promise of reviving the prominent institution in the heartland of Ogoni ethnic nationality.
\nThe students, Deemua Justice, Lebari Dornubari, Maakue Queen Letam, and Lenwi Gold, said they will remain\u00a0 eternally\u00a0 grateful to the governor for giving education the top priority attention that it deserves.
\nVice Principal, Administration, Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori, Mr Kayi Green, commended the quality of rehabilitation of facilities\u00a0 in the school\u00a0 by the governor.
\nHe said that learning\u00a0 and\u00a0 teaching\u00a0 have been boosted in the school since the rehabilitation\u00a0 work started.
\nIt will be recalled that Governor Wike had pledged that the Saakpenwa-Bori Road and the rehabilitation of the Birabi Memorial Grammar School will be completed on schedule as part of his comprehensive programme to develop Ogoni land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
