President Bola Tinubu has given an indication that the Federal Government would promptly attend to the Eleme Junction-Onne axis of the East-West Road, linking the Port Harcourt Refinery.
In a press statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, on Thursday, the President gave the indication while welcoming a high-powered 62-man delegation from Rivers State, comprising leaders from both the governing All Progressives Congress, APC, and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the State House.
President Tinubu noted that concerning infrastructure development in Rivers State, he had heard the cries of prominent Rivers sons, with particular reference to the Eleme Junction-Onne axis of the East-West Road, linking the Port Harcourt Refinery. On this, the President said the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, is a strong adviser, and would follow up on the issue for prompt action.
“The Honourable Minister, Wike, is not just the Minister of FCT, he is also my adviser and an admirer of mine. He has hit the ground running and he should be encouraged by the State,” the President affirmed.
