Rivers
State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has declared that his
administration will sustain the revival of the state’s secondary
healthcare facilities across the state.
The
governor also called on political office holders to invest in their
respective constituencies as a means of empowering their communities.
Commissioning
the reconstructed General Hospital Abua yesterday, Governor Wike said
that all health facilities abandoned by the immediate past
administration will be completed to ensure that Rivers people have
access to quality healthcare.
The
governor said that the administration is working on completing the
Mother and Child Hospital, Port Harcourt, Zonal Hospitals at Degema,
Bori and Etche.
”All
the hospitals being constructed or reconstructed were abandoned.
They were in a sorry state of abandonment, despite the funds that
accrued to the state. We have started the process to complete the
abandoned Zonal Hospitals and the Mother and Child Hospital.
We
promised the people that we will reconstruct this hospital and we
have delivered on our promise. We don’t make promises and start
giving flimsy excuses”, Wike said.
Governor
Wike urged leaders to promote peace in their communities in order to
create the right environment for the execution of meaningful
projects.
He
called on Rivers people to stand up in defence of their mandate,
irrespective of the antics of the ruling party.
” You
must be vigilant to stop any form of political robbery. Stop any
action that will lead to the robbery of our votes,” he said.
The
governor commended the member representing Abua/Odual/Ahoada East
Federal Constituency, Mrs Betty Apiafi for equipping the General
Hospital, Abua.
In
her remarks, the member representing Abua/Odual/Ahoada East Federal
Constituency, Mrs Betty Apiafi said the reconstruction of the General
Hospital, Abua has rekindled the hope of the people.
She
thanked the Rivers State Governor for remembering the people of
Abua/Odual Local Government Area, who were forgotten by the immediate
past administration.
Giving
a project description, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Mrs
Caroline Wali said that the 60-bed hospital would go a long way to
address the health needs of the people.
Thousands
of Abua people celebrated the reconstruction of the General Hospital
Abua. Governor Wike also announced the construction of
Ekago-Ogboloma-Adada Road in the area.
