While the clueless Federal Government under Muhammadu Buhari is still wallowing in perplexity, lamentations, mediocrity, blame game, imaginary 'achievements' lies and propaganda three years after, the story is different in Rivers State under Governor Nyesom Wike.
* Roads and urban/rural development
Gov Wike has revolutionised road network in the entire Rivers State, even Riverine area like Opobo that has no road linked to it for centuries has been linked by road. Virtually every local government area has at least 3 major roads constructed by Rivers State Government, internal roads in major towns like Omoku, Ahoada, Elele and others have been contructuted and rehabilitated. Not forgetting the famous 6 lanes Saakpewaan/Bori road with street lights that leads to Ogoniland.
Port Harcourt city was known with bad roads and traffic but that has changed today, all the roads are new now and traffic is fast disappearing from our roads. Street lights and traffic lights have been put back on our roads, these are basic things we enjoyed last during Odili's era. Parks and gardens everywhere in the city, Port Harcourt has regained it lost Garden City status.
* Health
General hospitals in every local government area are being reconstructed and upgraded to a higher standard. 6 Zonal headquarters of these hospitals in Bori, Degema Etc, cannot be found in most states in the country. The state owned hospital popularly known as BMH has been reconstructed and equipped to international standard to curb medical tourism abroad. The Mother and Child Hospital, Port Harcourt is ready for commissioning.
* Education
Secondary schools in every LGA are being remodel, several primary schools are experiencing the same thing too. ( pictures attached below) Rivers State University, Kenpoly, Ignatius Ajuri University of Education, and Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic are all receiving massive rebuilding and funding.
* Security
Continual support for security agents, effective amnesty to cultists in the state and huge bounties placed on the heads of unrepentant cultists and criminals have brought unprecedented peace and astronomical decline in criminal activities to Rivers State. Additional mega police stations has been constructed in different strategic locations in the state and handed over to the police.
* Youths and Women empowerment.
This cannot be over emphasized because everybody is aware of the several no-interest loans and empowerment schemes the state government is rolling out for youths and women in the state. So many youths and women have been given opportunity to participate in governance in the state under Wike.
This peice would be too voluminous to read if I want to give details of all the achievements of Governor Nyesom Wike in three years, let me leave you with few pictures of the festival of projects in Rivers State, though Facebook will not let me upload more than 30 pictures at a time.
