The unconstitutional Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas (retd), has declared his intention to rehabilitate most of the vandalised infrastructure in the state within available financial resources.

Ibas expressed the commitment during an on-the-spot inspection of some ongoing road projects, vandalised secretariats of Local Government Councils, and the recently inaugurated Bori Zonal Hospital, on Friday.
This declaration was stated in a release issued by the Government House and sent to newsmen.
Some of the road projects inspected included the Nyokhana-Kenkhana road, connecting Luuwa Community to the Baani Community, and the Zakphor-Bateem road, all in the Khana Local Government Area.
Other projects are the Eleme internal roads and drainage, and the Eleme section of the Port Harcourt Ring Road project.
The administrator also conducted an assessment of the extent of vandalism at the Khana and Eleme Local Government Council Secretariats.
Ibas described the level of destruction as disheartening and said that when people destroy such infrastructure, no matter the reason, they set the state back.
He stated, “I think we owe the people that we are superintending over the duty to ensure that these facilities and infrastructure are in the best order.
“We have made a commitment to fix most of the vandalised infrastructure with the limited resources that we have. It is a commitment that I think we need to deliver to enable those who are using them to return to work.”
Commenting on the ongoing road projects, Ibas said roads are critical infrastructure for development and enhanced commerce in any society, which is why such provision cannot be compromised.
He added, “The more roads we have, the more commerce – I mean, the means of commuting becomes easy. We are trying to create wealth. Without roads, of course, sometimes, you have your produce, but before you move them to the marketplace, they are all rotten.”
“But we also expect that when these roads are completed, those who are going to use them will also take care of the infrastructure,” he added.
