Abuja (Precise Post) – Rivers State Government has awarded the contract for the construction of the Trans-Kalabari Road and the Phase II of the Sakpenwa-Bori-Kono road to Lubrick Construction Company and CCECC respectively.
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike who disclosed this via his official twitter handle on Friday, stressed that the roads are of critical importance to their host areas.
He informed that the two roads will be funded by a N1billion irrevocable monthly payment deducted from the State’s internally generated revenue.
The Rivers State Governor therefore called on people of the areas to take ownership of the projects and support the contractors maximally.
His tweets reads:
“Today we awarded the contract for the construction of the Trans-Kalabari Road and the Phase II of the Sakpenwa-Bori-Kono road to Lubrick Construction Company and CCECC respectively.
“Both roads are of critical importance to their host areas and are to be funded by a N1bn irrevocable monthly payment deducted from the State’s internally generated revenue.
“We urge people of the areas to take ownership of the projects and support the contractors maximally.”
Precise Post recalls that Wike has been nicknamed Mr. Project due to the massive projects he has embarked on and completed since assumption of office as governor of the state in May 29, 2015.
