Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that under his leadership  the era of abandoned  projects  is gone for good.
Commissioning  the completed Abuluoma -Woji-road with  Bridge in Port Harcourt on Wednesday,  Governor  Wike  stated that no local government  area  in the  state  would  be  neglected  in the renewal  programme  of  his administration. 
He said : “I will never do any project that will be abandoned. No part of the state will be neglected  in  the  infrastructure  renewal  programme  of  my administration “.
The  governor  urged communities  to always provide  a  peaceful  environment  for  contractors  to  complete ongoing project. 
He appealed to  the  people  of  the state  to support  the  administration’s execution of projects for the  benefit  of the state. 
“You can see the level of  development  in the state. That is why you should  always give you mandate to those who will use it to implement  projects for all people irrespective  of  political  affiliations. 
“We have  shown  that it doesn’t  matter  what  political  parties  you belong  to.  Once a government  is formed,  it works for everyone”, Governor Wike said. 
Governor Wike  said  that  aside the Abuluoma -Woji-road,  his administration  will  in 2016 commence the construction  of a Fly-Over on Peter Odili road.
In his address, Rivers State Commissioner  for Works,   Kelvin Wachukwu said the  1.672kilometre road was inherited  at the earthwork and filing stage before Governor  Wike  carried  out  the completion of the road, sidewalls,  median ,  toll point, the median  and 275 metres bridge.
He said  the immediate  past administration  initially  awarded the  contract  for N3.5 billion, but due to change  of scope of work and variations,  the immediate  past  administration  increased the cost to N13.6billion in 2014.
Caretaker Committee Chairman of Port Harcourt Local Government Area,  Mr Samuel  Ejekwu  praised Governor  Wike  for completing the road which will ease the traffic pressure  on Aba-Port Harcourt road, Dr Peter Odili  road and also enhance  free flow of  traffic  in Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt and Eleme. 
So far, Governor  Wike  has commissioned  the Obonomma -Abonnema link road with Bridge and  Eagle Island -Iloabuchi link road.
