The Secretary to Rivers State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo has assured that the state Governor, Nyesom Wike, will not abandon any project to his successor.
The SSG said Wike had demonstrated experience, competence and courage in implementing the principles of good governance and was determined to leave behind a worthy legacy for future generations.
He spoke when members of the Ikwerre (Iwhuruohna) Journalistic Forum visited him in his office.
Danagogo further assured them that no debt would also be left behind by the Wike’s administration for the next government.
He said: “The Governor Wike I know will not leave behind abandoned projects, and he will not leave debts. He is doing many 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 completion of the segment. As such, the contractor does not have any excuses than to deliver the project at the set time.
“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 SSG urged the journalists to stay united and to enjoy a truly prosperous state, adding that nepotism or tribalism was capable of frustrating the progress in the state.
The President, Ikwerre Journalists Forum, Elder Mike Iwezor, said the visit was to encourage those, who were supporting Wike.
