Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, said his administration’s major projects across the state would give the All Progressives Congress, APC, strong achievements to highlight during campaigns ahead of the 2027 general election.

Fubara made the statement while inaugurating the reconstructed 19.79-kilometre Buguma-Degema-Abonnema Road, which connects communities across Asari-Toru, Degema and Akuku-Toru Local Government Areas.

The governor said the road would improve transportation, reduce insecurity and boost the socio-economic activities of residents in the affected communities. He added that the project would end the loss of man-hours and security challenges previously associated with the route.

Fubara said he had personally committed to rehabilitating the road after seeing its poor condition during an earlier visit, noting that the project had been awarded in September 2024.

He said the completed projects would give him something to point to while campaigning for the APC, adding that even projects his administration could not complete would be continued by the party.

The governor also reaffirmed his commitment to completing the Trans-Kalabari Highway, which he described as another important project for communities across the state.

He thanked residents for supporting his administration and allowing contractors to carry out their work without obstruction.

The Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Prof. Temple Nwofor, said the Buguma-Degema-Abonnema Road met the required state standards and included the rehabilitation of seven bridges, streetlights, concrete walkways, culverts and drainage channels.
