Rivers
State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has frowned at the pace of work on the
Trans-Amadi/Woji/East West Road, as he urged the contractor, Ronier
Construction Company (RCC) to speed up work.
He
told newsmen after an unscheduled inspection of the road project in Port
Harcourt on Wednesday that he was not satisfied at the pace of work so far.
In
his words,” It is an important road that needs completion, and government will
do everything it can to make sure that funding will not be an impediment.”
The
governor assured that funds will be released next week to the contractor,
warning that he will beef up inspection to ensure the work is completed in
time.
He
therefore charged the contractor to fasten the pace of work between Slaughter
to Garrison axis so as to ease the pains of firms and motorists who ply the
road.
Going
by the assurance of the construction firm, Wike disclosed plans to release some
funds next week to fasten the pace of work.
The
construction firm had told the governor that it will complete the portion
between Garrison and Slaughter in four months time, excluding bridges and other
culverts along the road.
The
10-km road project was awarded by the Chibuike Amaechi led administration at
the cost of N47billion, and links
Trans-Amadi Industrial Area, Woji and Elelenwo communities, and terminates at
the East-West Road.
