The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has ordered the immediate acceleration of work on the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex, following what he described as “grossly abysmal” progress.
Speaking during an inspection visit to the construction site along Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, the Administrator directed the contractor handling the project to step up efforts without further delay, warning that any continued lag in execution would not be tolerated.
“This project is of strategic importance, and we must treat it as such. The people of Rivers State expect results. Any further delays will be unacceptable. All hands must be on deck to meet the agreed timelines,” Ibas stated.
He expressed disappointment with the pace of work, noting that the contractor had fallen short of expectations despite clear timelines and ongoing supervision.
