The governor explained that the essence of the project is to safeguard the lives and the property of the people of the state.

Inaugurating the project, the special guest of honour, Chief Hanny Woko, called for an end to the ongoing political impasse in Rivers State, saying that it is giving the state a bad name.

Woko asked the people of Rivers to emulate Lagos State where he said politicians quarreled but immediately found a solution to their problems.

He said, “I want to use this opportunity to call on every reasonable Rivers son and daughter that there should be an end to every conflict. Rivers State has always been in the news for the negative purpose and we condemn that. We should borrow a leaf from our sister states. The governors are governing their people without any friction anywhere.

“Yes, in human relations, there may be room for frictions but what is important is to put the state first. No personal interest should override the collective interest of the state. I urge everyone using this opportunity to borrow a leaf from Lagos State.

“They quarreled but they came to a roundtable to sort out their problem and the state moved on. Rivers State should emulate Lagos. Right now, our state is in a turmoil but we thank God that God will continue to give His Excellency the wisdom to manage this crisis and I am absolutely sure that he will come out unscathed and he will serve out his two tenures as statutorily provided in our constitution.”
