Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has expressed deep concern over the burden of inherited debts amounting to billions from projects initiated by his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking during the inauguration of the Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road, also known as Old Bori Road, in Eleme Local Government Area, Fubara lamented the financial strain caused by pending payments to numerous contractors.

Describing the situation as a significant challenge, Governor Fubara underscored his commitment to transparency by announcing plans to present detailed project cost breakdowns during future inaugurations.

He emphasized, “We will be going with the white paper to show the records and the amount of the projects.”

While acknowledging his reluctance to address such issues, Fubara stressed that ongoing pressure compelled him to shed light on the matter, stating, “I said I don’t want to talk because I am part of the system.

But when you continue to push me, I will say it so that they will see the nyash of the fowl.”

Governor Fubara highlighted the significance of the Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road project, describing it as a vital bypass aimed at alleviating congestion and enhancing transportation efficiency in the Eleme axis of the East-West Road.

He reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to prioritize the interests of the people and collaborate with the Federal Government to facilitate development initiatives.

Expressing gratitude to the Eleme community for their cooperation during project execution, Fubara pledged to initiate additional infrastructure projects in the area.

He assured residents of ongoing government support and promised to deliver more projects to enhance their well-being.

In a symbolic gesture, Governor Fubara invited Governor Alex Otti of Abia State to inaugurate the project, citing his reputation for genuine integrity.

The move underscored Fubara’s commitment to fostering partnerships and recognizing leaders who prioritize accountability and public service.

As Governor Fubara navigates the challenges of inherited debts and strives to fulfill his administration’s development agenda, his pledge for transparency and proactive governance resonates with stakeholders, offering hope for positive transformation and sustainable progress in Rivers State.
