Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has said his administration is in a hurry to develop new cities and that the construction of the Port Harcourt Ring Road project will facilitate the achievement of that objective with enduring quality infrastructure provided for the people.
Governor Fubara gave the assurance moments after the contract papers for the construction of the project were signed between the Rivers State government and Julius Berger Nigeria PLC at the Executive Chambers of Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Signing on behalf of the Rivers State government were the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacheaus Adangor, Commissioner for Works, George Kelly Alabo and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works, Mrs. Ebere Dennis Emenike; while the Managing Director, Lars Ritcher and Raymond Marisho, Assistant Regional Manager, signed for Julius Berger Nigeria PLC.
Fubara explained that the best time to start a project that has a completion period of 36 months is now, which is precisely why 75 percent of the contract sum of N195.3 billion has been released to make Julius Berger give the required urgency to the project. (Daily Sun)
