Ahead of his one year anniversary in office as Governor of Rivers state,Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Thursday inspected the Emohua-Tere-Ama road and expressed satisfaction with the completion of the 23 kilometers road.
Addressing newsmen shortly after the inspection at Tere-Ama junction, Governor Fubara noted that governance is all about the people, and that has been the focus of his administration.
The governor said he visited the road to see the extent of job done on it, saying that it was added among the ones to be commissioned for his one year anniversary and from observation only the lighting system is left.
“We inherited this road and the greater chunk of the cost was borne by us, so we feel justified to add it to our project to be commissioned for the good of the people.”
“This road used to be very bad, with lots of criminal activities including kidnapping. So, putting it in order, you can see the man hour saved. Before now, it takes 30 to 45 minutes to drive from Emohua to Tere-Ama junction, but it just took us 15 minutes to be here now.”he stated .
Fubara noted that the people will be better for it as the road will make life easy for them and that is the responsibility of a government that should be seen as working.
“It is not about me, it is not about giving glory to me as a person, because I am just a vessel that God is using to provide succour to the good people of Rivers State and especially our dear people of Kalabari extraction.”
Earlier the governor visited the Rivers State Assembly Quarters, to undertake on the spot assessment condition of the structure for a possible rehabilitation work to restore it status and make it liveable,adding that with the emergence of a new speaker there are few things that may be required to make the place conducive.
