Port Harcourt, Dec. 14, 2023 – Siminalayi Fubara , the Rivers State Governor, has assented to the N800 billion Appropriation Bill of the state.
While assenting to the bill, Fubara said his administration would undertake critical road projects that would connect more communities across many local government areas.
“This budget shows that we have a plan for our dear state. One of the reasons why our budget is in the volume of N800 billion is that we intend, not just by desiring, to ensure that one key request of our dear state is met.
“God being our helper, we will commence immediately, by next year, flaging off the actual and main Trans-Kalabari road project Phase 2.
“We have also, in our budget, provided to take care of the Elele-Omoku road project; road that cuts through Ikwerre, Emohua and Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Areas. We are also taking that project as one of our cardinal achievements of this administration. We are not going back on it.”
“I want to assure you that this administration has the best interest of our people. It is an administration that wants everyone to have hope. We have keyed into the Renewed Hope Agenda of our dear President Bola Tinubu to continue to assure our people of hope. The best of us will be seen by everyone.
“We will continue to protect the interest of our people, do the best for everyone, not minding your position or class. Our government is a responsive and inclusive government. Our eyes and ears are open to the needs of our people. We will not disappoint you.” (GBN)
