Governor Fubara Suspends ₦‎195 Billion Ring Road Project In Rivers State by Trendy247: 10:28am On Oct 31, 2023
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state has suspended the Port Harcourt N195 billion Ring Road project, which former Governor Nyesom Wike initiated.

This decision comes as the power struggle between Fubara and Wike intensifies for political control in the state.

The sudden suspension of the high-value infrastructure project underscores the growing tension between Fubara and his predecessor.

Governor Fubara’s action is seen as a precursor to a potential showdown against Wike soon. Already, Fubara has taken decisive steps by dismissing some of Wike’s loyalists from his government. The move comes in response to attempts made by lawmakers in the state House of Assembly, who are loyal to Wike, to impeach Governor Fubara.

The political conflict between Fubara and Wike has been exacerbated by claims that, despite holding the position of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Wike has remained influential and in control of affairs in Rivers state.

The suspension of the multi-billion naira project and the political manoeuvring suggest an imminent confrontation between the two political heavyweights, potentially reshaping the dynamics of power and governance in Rivers state.

Very fantastic decision.

What happened to Bori, Degema and Ahoada?

The Rivers founding fathers had the vision to develop these areas to modern cities but several decades down the line no progress.

Concentrating development to PH only is evil.

Lol, the project will be re-awarded. It was awarded for a whopping #170b and paid upfront.

Gov Wike hailed the project, but a colleague from my office told me it was all a jamboree to recover campaign spending.

Unlike Wike, Fubara is quiet, an Accountant and quite meticulous when it comes to spending.

You're laughable, I swear!

Oga, Rivers State is only second to Lagos in terms of financial resources. Now, who controls the resources, Wike or Fubara?

I knew that project was a fraud and doesn't make sense. 150b paid within SIM first three months in office.

If only you know the commission Wikes gets for money allocated for that project. Sim is cutting those offer off. But it doesn't mean,he won't continue the project later.

Dubious politicians what ever they do is always to their own interests. If that project as initiated by Wike does not equal to billions into Wikes pocket why stop it? If governor Fabura hasn't fallen out with would he has stopped this project?

It is not a stupid move. Wike administration concentrated 95% of capital projects in just 2 LGAs that make up Port Harcourt urban out of 23 LGAs. This ring road covers basically only the 2 LGAs with just fringes on the other 4 of Etche, Oyigbo, Ikwerre and Eleme at their boundaries with Port Harcourt. Rivers State has other potential cities that need development like Ahoada, Bori and Omoku. Even the riverine area needs infrastructure including marine infrastructure and completion of the Riverine ring road but nearly 200 billion has already been assigned to this 2 LGA project.
