According to Wike, “As I speak, all the core economic assets of the Federal Government located in the state, such as the Port Harcourt International Airport, the Port Harcourt Sea Port, Onne ports and Free Trade Zone as well as the East – West Road are either deliberately abandoned, under-utilized or in their worst state of disrepair.”
The governor also disclosed that his administration spent about N145 billion on construction of roads, pedestrian walkways, bridges and underground drainages since it came on board two years.
He said his administration was investing in street lights, provision of water and marine transport system.
Wike said, “In the last two years, we have invested over N145 billion to construct roads, bridges, pedestrian walkways and underground drainage systems.
