Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has stated that
despite the current challenges confronting his administration, he would not be
distracted from the oath he to defend the people of the state.
He added that he would do his best to provide equitable
development to the state.
The governor made the declaration while speaking to newsmen
at Ngo Town, the headquarters of Andoni Local Government Area, shortly after
inspecting the stretch of the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity
Road, yesterday.
Speaking, Fubara noted that during his campaigns leading to
his election, the Andoni section of the road was in horrible condition, but
that months after the decision was taken to re-award the contract, the
milestone achieved has been commendable.
20-year-long road
project
Fubara said his administration is determined to complete the
road that has lingered on for over twenty years as a commitment to bequeath an
enduring project that will serve the needs of the people for years.
He said, “I have to say that the contractor has done a very
good job.
Although, we did observe that about 1km of road that will
lead to the council secretariate was somehow not captured in the scope and I
think it will be proper that we do that alongside.
“So, we will continue to do our best not minding the
challenges we are facing. The most important thing is that we have taken our
oath to defend our people and protect their interest, and we are not going back
on that.
“What I keep saying to everyone is, what are we bequeathing
to our people? Their interest is the most important thing and governance is
about the protection of lives and property.
“These include providing quality services and one of those
things is like this road. Posterity has just blessed me with this project. It
is something that they couldn’t achieve for over twenty years but within the
space of six months, and I have been able to sort it out. It is a credit and a
big one to our administration.”
