Read the Rivers state government press release below...
Contrary to claims by officials of the outgone administration that it left N7 billion in the state coffers, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that no such money was domiciled in the state account.
The governor stated that the state’s FAAC account was in debit as at May 29 when he took over the reins of governance in the state.
This is even as the Rivers State Government on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding with two construction giants, Julius Berger and CCECC for the rehabilitation of 33 kilometres of township roads in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The Governor stated that from the brief he received from the State
Accountant General after his inauguration, only one revenue account
with Sterling Bank had some funds left by the immediate past
administration.
"I
want to say in good authority that we did not meet any N7 billion as
being speculated. The state's FAAC account as at May 29 was in debit.
That was the briefing I received from the Accountant-General", he said.
The
memorandum of understanding with the two construction giants is in
realisation of the Zero Potholes Programme launched by the
administration on May
29.
While Julius Berger is to
handle the rehabilitation of 11 kilometres of township roads alongside
street lights and traffic lights, the CCECC will handle 20 kilometres
of township roads in Port Harcourt.
He
explained that the state government resolved to work with the
construction giants to rebuild road infrastructure in the state capital
because the revival of facilities in the state capital is beyond
political consideration.
Governor Wike
noted that the funds for the Operation Zero Potholes have been set
aside, hence the signing of the memorandum of understanding to ensure
that the companies conclude work in 120 days.
He promised to personally monitor the execution of the projects by the construction giants.
Speaking further,
Governor Wike explained that his
administration resolved to take the N10b loan with specific focus on key
projects to be implemented. He noted that the request to the state
Assembly was accompanied by all the projects to be executed.
Responding,
Representative of Julius Berger Plc, Mr Marco Braun assured the
Rivers State Government that the project will be completed as
scheduled.
Also speaking, the Representative
of CCECC, Mr Lee Kin Yong expressed happiness that the Chinese company
will be involved in the revival of infrastructure in Rivers State.
The
signing of the memorandum of understanding was supervised by the Rivers
State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Chinwe Aguma.

Didn't read the article but Wike is an example of why Nigeria is struggling. Instead of him to go to work, finish what his predecessor has started he wants to run Amechi down, sack employed workers. And I add demolish Amechi projects which any right thinking governor who wants his state to progress will not do. What Wike is doing is not governance. It's stupidity! God help Nigerian leaders to stop being myopic and see the bigger picture. He's just a nagging wife- yes, a nagging wife. Shout up and work!
DeleteOmg, mumu Na full dis blog o, shut up jare

ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Ofcourse he met an empty account cos his oga Jonathan refused to gv rivers state her allocation whn Amaechi was d Gov. Only for him to release d money totalling 105bn on d 28th of May which is a day to hand over and Amaechi being sharp as usual, blocked d money from entering rivers state acct cos dts d plan of him nd his master, to squander rivers state's money. I knw he will remove dt part. Clueless man!
ReplyDeleteNoted!
ReplyDeleteAmaechi Ooohhh

A case of a thief calling out a thief for d rubbery they went to together....
Enough of dis ranting from Wike..instead of commencing on a good project,all he does z criticize Amaechi. Stupid Old man.. Amaechi's govt may v looted funds bt @least dey did something for Rivers people. Only a stupid sadist will continue to discredit him. N for ur info,Amaechi may b a loud mouth bt he is a fearless man who voices his opinion not kissing asses. That's a real man nt dis chicken wits who are too scared like Wike.
ReplyDeleteWike is going to change Rivers state. Am so sure of that
ReplyDeleteThis guy reminds me of fayose. Same whining, complaining and backbiting all in a bid to prove they are the good guys when we can all see that they are not. Fayose even better pass this guy IMO.

ReplyDeleteOh Jeez! Wike please stop this rubbish. What kind of cheap popularity is this. Is lindaikeji blog your appraiser? face you fucking job and do what is important. Be like a Fashola. Let your work speak for you. 3 times this week, we have info from your office. Una no just get work.
ReplyDeleteuseless man.work and stop makin noise here and there
ReplyDeleteWelldone wike,despite that Amechi looted everything from the government house even ofosteries and other things was looted out you have to wake up and brink rivers state to the state it was before
ReplyDeleteLinda watz ur interest in Rivers politics? Abi Wike or d so called press secretary has started sleeping with you? There is nothing thatz going on now that isn't happening in other states so y is Wike making noise? Let's be concerned imptnt issues
ReplyDeleteWow! God bless him abundantly for dis good developments, and more to come. Thumbs up, and more power to his elbows.
ReplyDeleteWike has only been a governor for 2weeks and he's already taking a N10bn naira loan for some wasteful project!
ReplyDeleteThis criminal is going to bankrupt rivers state n put rivers people in more debt thanks to mama piss for bringing this IDIOT!!!
Anti public procurement regulations. You go sign for me I go sign for you. Na collabo.
ReplyDeleteEvery new government says the same.
ReplyDeletePlease get on with the job you sought to do.the new administration met not only an empty treasury,they are also saddled with outstanding salaries and a loan portfolio of $60Billion yet there aren't any structures on ground.
Please face your work oga.
Can this guy jst face governance? ?? Too distracted with vengeance.
ReplyDeleteBest news so far
ReplyDeleteThis is a Governor who is working unlike the tourist president
ReplyDeleteAmaechi- 7 Billion, Wike- Nothing...someone must be a big fat liar here
ReplyDeleteWike started his tenure with =N=10 billion loan which has inadvertently confirmed that his government will not be different from Amaechi's.
ReplyDeleteHe would improve the state coffers by selling the wasteful executive jets that Amaechi bought with developmental funds. He would improve state funding by cutting costs and wastages associated with dealing with certified corrupt contractors like Julius Berger, CCECC, etc.
Let there be leadership by example!
Amaechi said I left 7bn and wike said I did not see any 7bn now my question is who telling us the truth and who is telling lies?
ReplyDeleteWell done Wike, evil people will say you're complaining, tomorrow they will complain about Nigeria's bad condition but when they see one who wants to put things in place, they will call him names because it affects their hero. A thief can't be my hero.
ReplyDeleteBonario what is wrong with you? are you for real?
that is why Amaechi, Seminitari and co. should have done a tidy, proper handover. if they had, all this back and forth wouldn't be happening!
ReplyDeleteThat's what everyone says
ReplyDeleteGov. Wike, why not face the business of the day:good governance for Rivers people and leave Amaechi alone. let posterity judge your tenure and his own. maturity is needed here sir.
ReplyDeleteThis man's priority is clearly to humiliate Amaechi. QUITE SAD HE'S WASTING all this time and efforts. Even Buhari hasn't started probing.
ReplyDeleteStart with zero naira, & let see
ReplyDeleteWike is the best, a.p.c disease don fail
