Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Thursday commissioned the Mbano Camp/Old Aba-Port Harcourt road to Kom-kom railway and the Iriebe Housing Estate with a declaration that his administration is based on projects delivery rather than media hype.

He said: "This administration is anchored on God, that is why we will continue to win. It is not a media based administration, but one based on performance, facts and development of our beloved state.

"Whatever promise I made during the campaign, I will keep. This administration is focused on reviving Rivers State and ensuring that our people benefit from good governance ".

At the commissioning of the Iriebe Housing Estate, Governor Wike directed that the 50 units of higher low income flats be sold to the people at affordable prices without any profit to government. 

He said that his administration will be beneficial to all people of the state irrespective of their social status. 

The governor stressed that his housing programme will be targeted at the less privileged to ensure that their standard of living is improved. 

Rivers State Commissioner for Housing, Mr Emma Okah said the project is the first in the comprehensive housing programme of Governor Wike. 

Permanent Secretary of the State Ministry of Works, Paulinus Nwankwoala said the Mbano Camp/Old Aba-Port Harcourt road to Kom-kom railway is 3.7kilometres in length and will help the people of the area overcome their difficulties.
