Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers
State has directed an immediate resumption of work on various abandoned
projects across Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The governor, who assured of
prompt payment, directed contractors of key road projects to mobilise to site
and drive the projects to completion,
The governor inspected
on-going road projects at Eagle Island-Iroabuchi Link Road,
Woji-Trans-Amadi Road and projects at the Rivers State University of Science
and Technology (RSUST), Port Harcourt.
He particularly told the
contractors working on the Eagle Island-Iroabuchi Link Road to ensure the
completion of work within three weeks and said, “We will pay you on Wednesday
and we expect that you complete the road work in three weeks.
“We don’t want to hear
another excuse. You have said that you abandoned work due to lack of payment.
We shall make money available.”
Wike commended the commitment
of the contractor handling the Woji-Trans-Amadi Road, who promised that a
section of the abandoned road would be completed in three months.
“This road is critical to the
free flow of traffic in this area. Therefore, we shall make funds
available to you and we expect you to respect the timeline of completing the
project in three months, which we have agreed today,” he said.
