Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared that no part of the state will be left
behind in his quest to revive decaying infrastructure.
He
added that the Igwuruta-Chokocho-Etche road to the Food Basket of the state
will be completed on schedule.
In
a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special
Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on electronic media, Wike was quoted as
saying that the process for the recovery of the state is effectively on.
The
governor assured the people of Ikwerre and Etche Local Government Areas that
the arterial road will be constructed in line with specifications to serve the
development needs of the people.
According
to him, no section of the state will be denied development projects.
He
noted that no project started by his administration will be abandoned.
The
governor also assured the people of Eleme Local Government Area residing along
the Old Refinery Road in Akpajo that the road will be completed to improve the
economy of the area.
Wike
said that the development of road infrastructure in different parts of the
state is aimed at enhancing business operations of residents.
In
a related development, residents along the Igwuruta-Chokocho-Etche road have
described Wike as God-sent for reconstructing the Federal road which was
abandoned by the immediate past administration.
A
trader, Miss Miracle Obinwanne said business has improved since construction
work started on the road.
She
said Governor Wike deserves support for giving the road priority attention.
Another
resident, Ogechi Amadi said the governor departed from the former practice
where governors promised to reconstruct the road without living up to their
promise.
Victor
Doviye, Emeka Oye and Ngozi Onyeka who also reside along the road said that the
reconstruction of the Igwuruta-Chokocho-Etche road is one of the greatest
democracy dividends from Governor Wike. They said the multiplier effect of the
reconstruction of the road will improve the living standard of the Etche
people.
Mr
Chinenye Onyekachi who resides along the Old Refinery road in Akpajo, Eleme
Local Government Area commended Governor Wike for living up to his campaign
promise to the people.
Also
speaking, Mrs Joy Egwunwkwe said that for the first time in many years she is
witnessing the works of government determined to address the development needs
of the ordinary people.
