Despite political crisis, Rivers Executive Council approves N6.7bn road project

The approval was given at the Council’s 7th meeting, presided over by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, with the Deputy Governor, Prof Ngozi Odu and other members of the cabinet in attendance.

Engr Briggs said that with the abandonment, the road collapsed, making it completely impassible thereby constituting a major traffic challenge to motorists, especially now that works have intensified on the Port Harcourt Ring Road that traverses part of Ozuoba. “From that time, until now, due to the neglect, the major sections of the road, including the internal community roads have all collapsed.

Johnson stated that a 40 percent mobilisation fees has been paid to the new contractor, CCECC, adding that the project will be funded entirely from savings in the Internally Generated Revenue of the State.
