The Pro-Wike Rivers State House of Assembly members have urged Julius Berger, to commence an immediate remedial repair on collapsed sections of alternative routes to the Port Harcourt ring-road.
The lawmakers gave this directive at their sitting on Monday, where they expressed worry over the deplorable state of most of the alternative routes.
Expressing their readiness to follow up the request, the house also resolved to maintain synergy with the contracting firm.
They expressed the belief that the synergy would ensure the execution of the Port Harcourt ring-road and that the collapsed sections of the designated alternative routes are fixed.
Martins Wachukwu, the special assistant on media to the Pro-Wike State Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon Martin Amaewhule, disclosed this in a release.
Also, the lawmakers deliberated on the burning down of the hallowed Chamber of the House on the 29th of October, 2023 by some alleged arsonists.
The attention of the lawmakers was drawn to the issue by the leader, Mr. Major Jack. According to the statement, “Retrospecting on the mindless burning down of the hallowed Chamber of the Rivers State House of Assembly 386 days ago, the State House of Assembly, on Monday, at its 68th Legislative Sitting, again decried the nihilistic burning down of its hallowed Chamber, the attack on the official residence of the Speaker, and the brazen demolition of the Assembly Complex.
“Commenting, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule said it has been 386 days since the heartless burning down of the hallowed Chamber of the House, yet no conviction has been made.
“It has been 341 days since governor Siminialayi Fubara supervised the demolition of the Assembly Complex on the 13th of December, 2023, without the knowledge and approval of the House; it’s a sad reminder of the brutal attacks on the Legislature, which is the bastion of democracy.
“The House has resolved to set aside every 29th of October as a solemn day to commemorate all the iniquitous, scandalous and malicious attacks on the Rivers State House of Assembly by governor Fubara.”
