Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has refuted claims that he made promises to address all of the state’s socioeconomic and infrastructure issues while in office.
Wike stated that despite the nation’s current economic difficulties, the state government has made enormous strides in addressing some of the infrastructural issues it inherited during the inauguration of the ultramodern National Union of Rivers State Students national secretariat. Wike made this known through a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri.

The governor also exhorted the NURSS leadership to avoid allowing politicians to incite them against the State in order to produce a rift between them and the State administration. He added that doing so would be immoral.
“I never said I will finish the whole work in Rivers State. Even if you keep me here for 40 years, I cannot finish the work in Rivers State. What I said was that we have been able to do a reasonable amount of work at the local government and the impact that we have made is very glaring.
“I said in Omuma, we did so-so number of kilometers of road. What you should bother yourself with is to go and check. The same goes with Opobo,” he said.
“Sometimes, most of you leave what you’re supposed to do and concern yourself with irrelevant things, and allow politicians to use you to come and block Government House,” he added.
