Ogoni celebrate Wike fulfilling campaign promise

Ogoni people from different communities in Rivers State are pleased with Governor Nyesom Wike, for fulfilling his promise of starting work on the dualisation of the Sakpenwa-Bori Road and embarking on the total rehabilitation of the Birabi Memorial Grammar School, Bori.

A statement by Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, pointed out that several Ogoni people in separate interviews yesterday expressed happiness that Wike is a man who keeps his words.

Those interviewed commended Wike’s administration for exhibiting commitment in the execution of the road and the school projects, which will enhance the economy of the area.

A resident of Bori, Barizi Menegbu, noted that the construction of the road has helped the economy of the area as many residents have been engaged by the contractors.

In his remarks, David Winda, commended the governor for taking steps to dualise the road, a development he said would reduce carnage on the ever-busy road that serves Gokana, Khana, Tai, Andoni and Opobo-Nkoro council areas.

A resident of Sakpenwa town, Ann Inchinga said the people appreciate the administration’s efforts because the road has been abandoned for several years without action by previous administrations.

Also speaking, Lawrence Osam assured the government of the continued support of the Ogoni people in his commitment to the development of Ogoni communities.

Foreman of the contracting firm, Cornelia Gogo assured that the Sakpenwa-Bori Road would be executed in line with contract specifications.
