Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has reassured the people of Rivers State of\u00a0 his administration’s\u00a0 commitment to the completion of the\u00a0 various ongoing\u00a0 infrastructure projects located in different parts of the state.<\/p>\n
The governor, who gave the assurance last Friday while inspecting the level of work on the new\u00a0 Airport Road Bypass in Port Harcourt, said the project had reached 65 per cent completion stage.<\/p>\n
According to him, in spite of recent developments on the political scene, he remains in “high spirits,” and is ready\u00a0 to continue with the task of\u00a0 governance, especially the delivery of projects that will impact positively on the lives of the people.<\/p>\n
“I want to assure our people that notwithstanding the situation of things, one thing that I can promise everyone, is that every good work that we have started, by the special grace of God, will continue and we will complete them. We’re in high spirits. Like, we always say, Rivers First,” he said.<\/p>\n
Fubara said that his administration conceived the idea of constructing a bypass to the Airport Road to create an alternative route for the communities around the airport and avoid a situation where some of their activities could cause obstruction along the main highway leading to the Port Harcourt International Airport.<\/p>\n
“We’ve always had these issues where the community may want to express their anger or dissatisfaction over some activities of the airport authorities, in the process they always block the airport road.<\/p>\n
” We thought that in this modern society, such actions are not necessary anymore because whenever it happens, it affects the economic activities of the state. So we liaised with the community and created this bypass,” he said.<\/p>\n
The governor, who\u00a0 was conducted round the project site by the contractors, expressed delight at the pace of work on the road, disclosing that the total project will be delivered before October 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
