Shettima, Fubara unveil 33.5km Rivers road

Vice President Kashim Shettima and Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara have inaugurated a 33.5-kilometre dual carriageway road connecting Elele, Egbeda, and Omoku. Shettima represented President Bola Tinubu at the commissioning ceremony. The road traverses Ikwerre, Emohua, and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Areas. Shettima highlighted the importance of infrastructure development in expanding economic opportunities and improving the lives of Nigerians.

He emphasized that roads serve various individuals, from farmers to students to healthcare seekers. Fubara acknowledged the road's significance as a statement of his administration's commitment to the communities it serves. He emphasized that the road would enhance security, ease movement of goods and people, and support economic activities.

The project replaced a road plagued by deep gullies, a deteriorated carriageway, and security concerns.
