Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has accused opponents of attempting to obstruct his administration’s projects and governance efforts, stressing that he remains resolute in his commitment to advancing the state’s infrastructure and public services.
Despite facing what he termed as “distractions,” Governor Fubara expressed his determination to complete significant projects, including the Bori and Omoku Zonal Hospitals, which he promised would be ready for public use by the end of 2024.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara emphasized that his administration’s vision aligns with the provision of affordable healthcare, quality education, enhanced agricultural development, and robust infrastructure for the state.
During an inspection of reconstruction works at the Omoku Zonal Hospital in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area on Monday, Fubara highlighted the importance of the facility as part of his strategy to improve healthcare access for Rivers residents.
The Governor said, “I want you to know this afternoon of this reconfirmation of our commitment to Rivers people that, not minding the attacks, notwithstanding the boast by people who believe they don’t want this State to go forward, that they will be disappointed.
“That they want to make this State to be on fire so that we will be distracted from governance, we want to tell them, that while we face the fire, our eyes are on the ball.
“We will ensure that this particular project is delivered on time, alongside that of Bori Zonal Hospital, by the special grace of God, before the end of this year.”
The Governor, who expressed satisfaction with the progress of work done, commended the contractor for adhering to agreed specifications of the project.
Fubara said, “From what we have inspected this afternoon, it is a world-class standard of an intermediary health facility.
“We confirmed that the contractor is working according to specifications because we want this facility to have a mortuary, a laundry which are needed for a standard hospital, and accommodation for the health workers.
“You can see for yourself that you even saw a crane also working at the site of this project.
“We promise that this project, as part of what we promised our good people of Rivers State, that healthcare, education and agriculture are the prime things that we must, no matter the circumstances we find ourselves, deliver to our people.”
