Secretary
to Rivers government, Kenneth Kobani says the poor conditions of roads in the
state forced Nyesom Wike, governor of the state, to obtain a loan of N30
billion.
He
said the loan would be used to rehabilitate and re-construct roads.
Kobani
told NAN in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, that the money would also be used to
fund government’s ‘Zero Pothole’ campaign and offset salary arrears of civil
servants and pensioners.
He
said the state government was pursuing a robust road rehabilitation and
reconstruction, drive to ease sufferings of road users. “Rivers government sent
a request to the state house of assembly to fund key infrastructures that
needed urgent attention,” he said.
“The
first N10 billion is currently being used by Julius Berger and CECC
construction companies for the state government’s Zero Pothole campaign in Port
Harcourt.

funds will be used to complete strategic projects that were left by the
previous administration – which include Woji/Akpajo road and bridge projects,
among others,” he stated
