Shell Location Road, one of the four roads commissioned was renamed Engineer Lawrence Anele Amadi Road by Governor Wike.

He spoke on Thursday at the Engineer Lawrence Anele Amadi Road.

"We flagged off the construction  of these roads in 2018. This is the first phase of the internal roads of this community".

"While I remain as Governor, our community will get its share of projects. This ward is the backbone of PDP in our Local Government Area. They gave us the highest votes during the elections", he said.

He thanked the Rimuepirikom community for the warm reception accorded to his entourage over the construction of the internal roads.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Dr. Walter Ndu, said that the Rumuepirikom internal roads have a total length of 9km with street lights and modern drainage.

 He said that the Rivers State Governor flagged off the construction of 11 roads, with four of such roads already completed. He said that the remaining roads will be completed by December.

The first set of roads delivered under the 1st Phase of Rumuepirikom Internal Roads include: Engineer Lawrence Anele Amadi Road (Former Shell Location Road), Ekani Street,  Maxwell Street and Odoli Street .




He said that before the construction of the roads by the Wike Administration, the roads were not accessible due  to their poor condition.

Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Mr. Solomon Eke, said that the roads are of international standard. He said that the Local Government is working with other agencies to improve security and environmental sanitation along the new roads.

Different women groups and the Owembe Cultural Troupe thrilled  guests at the commissioning ceremony.
