Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reiterated commitment to good governance in the state.

He said  he would  continue to uphold the standard of infrastructural development inherited from the immediate past administration particularly, stressing that it will foster economic growth.

Governor Fubara made the assertion yesterday during an inspection visit to the Woji-Aleto-Refinery Road project.

He said: “I can assure you and the world that no matter what the situation is, we are not going to lower the standard that we have come to meet.”

Fubara explained that the Woji-Aleto-Refinery road is one of the projects inherited from the immediate past administration that he considered important to create an alternative route while awaiting the reconstruction of the East-West road.

The governor said the state government had met its commitment to the contracting firm, Raffoul Construction Company (RCC) and expects them to speed up work for early completion.

“We had an understanding with the contractor and we did our own part of the commitment, so we are here to see what they are doing because we have given them a time line when the project should be completed.

“This is a follow-up on one of the commitments we made to Mr President when we visited him about two months ago to thank him for all the good things he’s doing for us, appointment of our illustrious sons into very important positions. On that visit we promised him that in a way to help the federal government, we will create an alternative route to decongest the East West road.”

“We inherited it and we also promised that in line with our commitment of our mantra of consolidation and continuity, that we must see that this road is completed.”

The governor, who was accompanied on the project inspection by the Commissioner for Special Duties, Emeka Woke, expressed satisfaction over the state of work done and charged the contractors to ensure speedy delivery.
