Today, being Day 2 of our programme, we inaugurated the 12.3km Egwi-Afara-Mba Road in Etche Local Government Area, which we flagged off in December 2024. I assured the people of Etche that before the end of this administration, we will provide a modern Zonal Hospital to serve them and their sister communities in Omuma LGA. God bless the traditional rulers, leaders and people of Etche for their support and warm reception.
Today, we inaugurated the 8.6km Omademe Internal Road in Ikwerre LGA. Our administration is committed to keep delivering quality infrastructure that will ease movement, connect communities and strengthen the movement of agricultural produce to markets.

Today, I had the privilege of laying the foundation of a remarkable project, the RIVEN Medical Industries at Rumuosi, along the East/West Road in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area. It is a project that will improve the quality of our healthcare delivery through material manufacturing. The initiative will create jobs and boost economic development of our State. The event was also an opportunity to galvanize our people in support of our political position to move the State forward as peace is instrumental to our collective development.
Today, we inaugurated the reconstructed 19.79-kilometre Buguma–Degema–Abonnema Road and l must say that l am deeply elated and grateful to God and the people of Rivers State. The road, which used to pose a major challenge to our people and commuters, is now a modern road that eases movement, connects communities, and opens new opportunities across the Kalabari Kingdom. As we celebrate this milestone, our work continues with the Trans-Kalabari Road and other infrastructural projects across Rivers State.
