Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared the commitment of his administration to the completion of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity for the development of the riverine communities in the area.
Addressing journalists after inspecting the ongoing construction of the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo-Nkoro Unity Road, Wike expressed confidence that the project will be completed as soon as possible.
According to him, the inspection of the road was necessitated by the complaints of stakeholders from Andoni Local Government Area who had earlier visited him.
He, however, noted that he had directed the contractors to deploy more personnel and equipment to speed up the project.
“The contractors are working on the road, though the people don’t understand the processes required. But I have directed that more personnel and equipment be deployed to the site”, he said, while he expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done so far.

Governor Wike assured residents that funding of the road will be maintained to ensure consistency in delivery.
Commenting on the dualization of Sakpenwa-Bori Road and other road projects, he expressed satisfaction with the quality of work done so far, adding that the road will be completed in May.
