Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara on Friday, said his administration will remain on course in delivering services to the people despite the political developments in the state.
The governor who gave this indication while inspecting the level of work on the new Airport Road Bypass in Port Harcourt, disclosed that the project had reached 65 per cent completion stage.
“I want to assure our people that notwithstanding the situation of things, one thing that I can promise everyone, is that every good work that we have started, by the special grace of God, will continue and we will complete them.
“We’re in high spirits. Like, we always say, Rivers first,” he said.
Governor Fubara said that his administration conceived the idea of constructing a bypass to the Airport Road to create an alternative route for the communities around the airport and avoid a situation where some of their activities could cause obstruction along the main highway leading to the Port Harcourt International Airport.

“We’ve always had these issues where the community may want to express their anger or dissatisfaction over some activities of the airport authorities, in the process they always block the airport road.
” We thought that in this modern society, such actions are not necessary anymore because whenever it happens, it affects the economic activities of the state.
“So we liaised with the community and created this bypass,” he said.
Governor Fubara, who was conducted round the project site by the contractors, expressed delight at the pace of work on the road, disclosing that the total project will be delivered before October 2026.
