Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has invited Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwoolu to the inauguration of the newly completed Orochiri-Worukwo (Waterline Junction) flyover in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He also revealed that the Ogbum-Nu-Abali Eastern Bypass will be the next project to be inaugurated. and it would be carried out by a former governor, Aliyu Wammako, who is also an APC chieftain.
Wike urged the people of the state to join the government in thanking God Almighty for his administration’s accomplishments. He praised his administration’s ability to inaugurate more projects while also embarking on new ones.
“And I don’t think you can hear anything happening in most of the States,” he added. However, we will cease providing services to the public on May 29, 2023.”
“As I previously stated, no project will be abandoned, which is why we have prioritized ensuring that the funds are available to support these projects.” There is no point in awarding contracts if we don’t have the funds.”
