Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has urged the
Bauchi State government to continue its work in alleviating the challenges
faced by the people of the state.
Governor Wike stated this in Bauchi while flagging off the
construction of 11 township roads in the state capital.
He expressed satisfaction with the performance of his Bauchi
State counterpart, Senator Bala Mohammed, despite the economic status of the
state.
According to the Rivers State helmsman, “It is not easy for
a state with less IGR (internally generated revenues) to embark on the
execution of developmental projects and that is the reason for my coming to
Bauchi today.
“Because of my relationship with the Bauchi governor and his
desire to work for his people, the Rivers State government will continue to
support him to work for the happiness of the entire citizens of Bauchi State.”
He described the township roads construction as a good
development, adding that it will improve the living conditions of the people of
the benefiting areas.
While congratulating Governor Mohammed on his
administration’s achievements in the area of infrastructure development, Wike
advised that the administration sustains its track record to improve the lot of
the people.
Governor Wike then called on the people of the state to give
Governor Mohammed the necessary support needed to embark on more positive
programmes and projects.
“On behalf of the government and people of Rivers State, it
is my honour and privilege to be in Bauchi and perform the flag-off ceremony of
township roads in Bauchi metropolis.
“These road project is a welcome development and will
contribute to improving the living conditions of the affected beneficiaries,”
Wike said.
In his speech at the event, Governor Mohammed said the
construction of the 11 township roads provides an opportunity for his
administration to demonstrate its readiness to promote infrastructural
development in the state.
According to him, the roads to be constructed with adequate
drainage systems were selected based on the needs of the people after due
consultations with relevant stakeholders at the grassroots.
When completed, the governor said, the roads will not only
make the affected communities accessible but also help in draining stormwater
which has been a problem in the communities.
Governor Mohammed stated that his administration on
assumption of office over a year ago was left with no option than to reverse
the ugly trend.
This, he said, is as a result of the neglect and abandonment
suffered by urban centres and historical towns in the state before he came on
board as the state governor.
“My government is being responsive to the yearnings and
aspirations of its people thus resolute in fulfilling all campaign promises.
“I am glad that Your Excellency (Governor Wike) has accepted
my invitation to flag-off these road projects. As you can see for yourself,
Bauchi is very happy to receive you,” Governor Mohammed said.
