Rivers Assembly okays Wike’s request for N20b loan JUNE 30, 2015 : CHUKWUDI AKASIKE 16 Comments Nyesom Wike | credits: File copy
The Rivers State House of Assembly has approved a loan request by the State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to the tune of N20 billion from Access Bank Plc. The House had acted on a a letter titled ‘Request for approval to borrow N20 billion loan facility from Access Bank Plc to finance major ongoing road projects.’ Wike had sent the letter to the House through the Speaker, Ikuiyi-Owaji Ibani, saying the loan facility is intended to complete some uncompleted road projects embarked upon by the previous administration and also for some new road projects to be executed by his administration. The governor had earlier sought approval from the House for a N10 billion loan that was granted by the House. “Pursuant to our resolve to continue viable ongoing projects, government has met with contractors handling major roads construction in the state with a view to mobilising them back to site. “The contractors handling road projects awarded by the previous administration have indicated their willingness to mobilise to site and continue with construction work as soon as funds are released to them. “As a result, we have considered it expedient to mobilise the contractors of the following ongoing road projects subject to availability of funds; Abuloma-Woji road, Woji Akpajo road, Rumuepirikom-Whimpey-Rumuolumeni road, Ozuoba-Ogbogoro-Rumuolumeni road, Rumuepirikom-Eleproanwa road and Igwuruta- Eneka-Elimgbu-Rumukwurushi road. “In addition, we have also concluded plans to embark on the construction of the following new roads and other projects; Elelenwo-Akpajo road, Oroigwe road, Igwuruta-Chokocho road, the rehabilitation, fencing and construction of internal roads in Government Girls Secondary School, GGSS, Rumuokwuta. “Mr Speaker, it is important to reiterate that these projects, when completed, will accelerate economic development in the state and improve the social well- being of our people. However, since the state government has no funds in its coffers we will be unable to mobilise any contractor to site without first finding the funds on willing development partners. Accordingly, we approached Access Bank Plc, which has graciously agreed to advance the state government with a loan facility of twenty billion Naira only for the purpose of funding these projects.” All the 29 lawmakers that were present during the sitting voted for the approval of the request after a debate on the matter. The House also resolved to recognise Sir Celestine Omehia as a former governor of the state, instructing that his portrait should be hanged at the Government House, Port Harcourt.

If He borrow #20billion from Access Bank , he will also Pay Access Bank Customers ......

"possibly this week or next week" is prediction or better still speculation.

RIVERS STATE GOVT IS OWING THE 13,000 TEACHERS RECRUITED BY AMAECHI 9 MONTHS’ SALARY The 13000 Teachers recruited by Amaechi worked for over a year before they start receiving their salary. After working for one year, they were forced to sign a form stating that they have only worked for eight months. Amaechi have managed to pay three months out of the eight months he agreed to pay them meaning that he (Amaechi is owing 6 months plus these recent three months (April, May and June) salary making nine months. The worst news is that the Public school pupils are suffering. They have not been receiving lessons and will not also be given the third term exams. Wike have borrowed 30 billion so far in 30 days meaning he is spending one billion per day. Yet he was the one that was on radio and television castigating Amaechi of Borrowing. Una think say E-easy? Buhari is now begging Governors to devise a means of paying workers salary. Una been think say Jonathan been dey there dey drink tea? Hehehehehehe YOU ARE IN FOR IT. WIKE - PAY YOUR WORKERS SALARY BUHARI - SEND YOUR GOVERNORS THEIR MONTHLY ALLOCATION
