NLNG team visits Rivers Governor, assures on completion of 38km Bodo/Bonny Island road
Managing Director of NLNG Limited, Dr Philip Mshelbila has said that the 38km road from Bodo to Bonny Island, currently being constructed by the company in collaboration with the Federal Government will be completed by the first quarter of next year with a plan to connect it to the East/West road.
Dr. Mshelbila said this when management of the company paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, at Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He also said that they visited the Governor to identify with and pledge their support to his administration, while also exploring avenues to expand areas of collaboration which will boost both the State’s economy and their operational opportunities.
Governor Fubara, in his address to the visiting team, charged them on the timely delivery of the company’s planned extension of the Bodo-Bonny road project to the section of the East-West Road in the Ogoni axis as the state government is desirous of supporting the company on the project.
He tasked the company not to delay any further in ending the associated sufferings of Rivers people on the East-West road.
He maintained that his administration is working hard to sustain the prevailing security being enjoyed to make the state safer and also create a more business-friendly environment that will boost the confidence of investors.
Sir Fubara also recalled how effective collaboration between the NLNG and the State government had resulted in the facilitation and establishment of a renal dialysis centre at the Rivers State Teaching Hospital.
He, however, urged the management of NLNG to increase their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to host communities by engaging more youths in their ongoing Train 7 Project with permanent employment and supply of materials.
