The Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo has said that Governor Nyesom Wike will not abandon any project in fulfilment of the NEW Rivers Vision development blueprint for the state.
Danagogo stated this when members of the Ikwerre (Iwhuruohna) Journalistic Forum visited him in his office.
He said, “Governor Wike that I know will not leave behind abandoned projects, and he will not leave debts. He is doing a lot of projects. But all will be finished before the end of his tenure. This is because he is experienced in governance, and he has the capacity and courage to do what is right. All projects are cash-backed and targeted to be completed.
“The Trans-Kalabari Road for instance has five segments. The Governor has awarded the first segment with N14bn set aside for the completion of the segment. As such, the contractor does not have any excuses other than to deliver the project at the set time.
Danagogo continued, “This strategy was successfully implemented in the Sakpenwa Bori – Kono Road. The next phase of the road, the Bori – Kono section, is also now under construction. Anyone projecting the failure of the Trans-Kalabari Road is an enemy of our progress.
“Following the kidnap of one of the expatriates working with the contracting firm of the Trans-Kalabari Road, the Deputy Governor met with political and traditional stakeholders of Kalabari extraction to ensure all community members work towards the release of the worker. We thank God for the release of the worker.”
The President, Ikwerre Journalists Forum, Mike Iwezor, said, “We wish to inform you that in our honest judgment as journalists, you are such a person.”
