Governor Siminalayi Fubara says Rivers State will complete all ongoing infrastructure projects, despite the current political situation.
Speaking on Friday during an inspection of the new Airport Road Bypass in Port Harcourt, Fubara said the project has reached 65% completion. He told residents the administration is still focused on delivering works that directly impact their lives.
“I want to assure our people that notwithstanding the situation of things, every good work we have started will continue and we will complete them,” Fubara said. “We’re in high spirits. Like we always say, Rivers First.”
The governor explained that the bypass was designed to give airport communities an alternative route and stop frequent blockages on the main road to Port Harcourt International Airport.
“We’ve always had these issues where the community blocks the airport road to express anger over the airport authorities,” he said. “In a modern society, such actions are not necessary anymore because whenever it happens, it affects the economic activities of the state. So we liaised with the community and created this bypass.”
After being taken round the site by contractors, Fubara said he was pleased with the pace of work and expects the full project to be delivered before October 2026.
