Still basking in the euphoria of the landmark judgment by the Supreme Court, Governor Nyesom Wike has assured the people of the state that his administration will sustain the tempo of projects execution that will benefit all communities.
Addressing reporters after inspecting some on-going projects in Ikwerre, Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas at the weekend, Governor Wike said that funding of all projects would go ahead as planned irrespective of the short fall in global oil price.
He expressed satisfaction with the pace and quality of work at all the project sites visited, noting that the contractors were living up to expectations.
Governor Wike noted that residents of the three local government areas visited were happy that abandoned and new projects were being completed by the administration.
He said: “We are happy with the quality of work being executed by the contractors in the areas we inspected today. In just two weeks after our last inspection visit, pace of work has improved .
“I assure the people of the state and the contractors that funding will not be a challenge. We shall drive all projects to their logical conclusion “.
The governor particularly assured that work on the new LNG bridge in Port Harcourt will be completed soon.
Wike who intermittently acknowledged cheers from the crown was accompanied on the inspection visit by the Sole Administrator of Greater Port Harcourt Development Authority, Ambassador Desmond Akawor and PDP Candidate for the Port Harcourt 1 Federal Constituency, Barrister Ken Chikere.
This is the first inspection visit of the governor after his victory at the Supreme Court last Wednesday.
