Just In : Fubara Speaks On Challenges, Makes Vow
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has affirmed his commitment to fulfilling the oath he took to defend the interests of the people of Rivers.
Despite facing challenges, he remains focused on his responsibilities.
The governor made these remarks in Ngo Town, the capital of Andoni Local Government Area, after inspecting the progress of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity road project.
He highlighted the significant improvements made since the decision to re-award the contract and expressed satisfaction with the project’s commendable milestones.
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 Secretariat 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.”
Fubara said his administration was determined to complete the road that had lingered for over 20 years in its commitment to bequeath an enduring project that would serve the needs of the people for years.
He said: “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, I have been able to sort it out. It is a credit and a big one to our administration.”
Responding to Mr Dick Nkakeek, a youth leader, who appealed to the governor to consider the construction of Andoni internal roads including that of Oyorokoto town, Fubara sued for patience.
He assured that his administration would consider the internal roads in Andoni once the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity road had been completed.
