He took advantage of the visit to undertake an unscheduled inspection of some ongoing and completed projects within the state capital.<\/p>\n

This, according to the governor, was to acquaint them with projects embarked upon and those completed by his government.<\/p>\n

Some of the projects visited included the Kelsey Harrison 120-bed Hospital, some modern primary schools and the 38,000 sitter stadium complex.<\/p>\n

He expressed displeasure over “breech of some contract agreement\u2019\u2019 by the handlers of the hospital.<\/p>\n

He phoned the Commissioner for Health to write the managers to correct the identified breeches or have the contract revoked.<\/p>\n

Others visited were the ongoing health centre within the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST) complex, the state Conference Centre and some completed road projects.<\/p>\n

Amaechi called on the contractors to be up to their responsibilities or have their contract re-determined.<\/p>\n

He said government was constructing 500 modern primary schools across the state, adding that 250 of the schools would be commissioned in October.<\/p>\n

This, he said, was to address the shortage of primary schools in the state.<\/p>\n

Mr Asishana Okauru, Director General of the NGF Secretariat who led the staff on the visit, expressed satisfaction with the projects inspected.<\/p>\n

“We are very impressed by the institutions and infrastructure on ground here. It shows that Rivers is a modern state\u2019\u2019, Okauru said.<\/p>\n

According to him, the facilities inspected are comparable to those in most advanced countries of the world.<\/p>\n
