By Pat PA Okon

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that he will work with the speed of light in his second term because he believes that four years will elapse in no time.

Speaking after inspecting the Mother and Child Hospital under construction and the Government Craft Development Centre being rehabilitated in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Governor Wike said that the process of projects delivery would be intensified for the good of Rivers people.

He said: "Four years for us is like four months. So we have no time. Now that the people have given us another mandate, we should be able to give them the best".

On the Mother and Child Hospital, Governor Wike informed that his administration has commenced re-modelling the facility because the former contractor failed to meet the required standard.
"The Former Contractor failed to execute the contract in line with the specifications of the project.
"If everything works well as we have agreed, we believe in the next three months, we will complete the Mother and Child Hospital.

"We have also given more assignments from what we have identified as lapses. The contract was not awarded by us and the former contractor was not competent ".
At the Government Craft Development Centre, Governor Wike directed the immediate demolition of shanties around the school.

He said: "There are so many shanties in the Government Craft Development Centre. I have directed that they be demolished.
"As a result of the shanties, criminals can have easy access to the school. We must do the right thing. First of all, we are improving the security network of the school and enhancing the learning environment "
