PRESS STATEMENT
RE: SUSPENSION OF PH RING ROAD PROJECT
The attention of Rivers State Government has been drawn to news being circulated that the flag-ship project of Gov. Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, the 50.15km Dual Carriage Ring Road has been suspended.
We wish to inform Rivers people and the general public to disregard such information as false. The project is for the advancement of our state and the improvement of the economy of our dear State therefore nothing whatsoever can stop it at this stage. For the avoidance of doubt, 77% of the contract sum has been paid and the construction firm is making frantic efforts to complete the job within schedule.
Please let’s be guided as we ask information and news managers to always verify their stories before going to the public space.
Signed
Warisenibo Joe Johnson
Commissioner for Information and Communication.
