Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Tuesday, hinted on
the expected date for resumption on international flights.
Wike, who vowed to complete all ongoing projects in his
state suggested that the ban on international flights could be lifted in the
next few weeks.
The Nigerian government had placed a ban on international
flights, following the outbreak of COVID-19 across the country.
However, while speaking during the inspection of a hospital
project in Port Harcourt, Wike said some projects in his state were slowed down
due to the ban on international flights.
The governor’s comments came while expressing satisfaction
at the level of work done at the Mother and Child Hospital being constructed in
the state.
He explained that furniture and medical equipment for the
hospital would be installed once the federal government lifts the ban on
international flights.
He explained that the delay in the installation of equipment
was due to the inability of German partners to travel, following the ban on
international flights.
He said: “But you can see that everything is set. We believe
that in the next few weeks when the federal government lifts the ban on
international flights, they will come in and start fixing the furniture and
other medical equipment.
“The equipment will be of world standard and we are happy
with what we are doing for the people. That is what I have always said that our
people deserve the best they can get. I’m happy with the level of work we have
seen today.
“All of them are ongoing, look at the quality of work done.
Look at the people, how they are highly elated. That is what they want and we
give them things that will improve their life.”
