The South South Youth Initiative (SSYI) has kicked against the planned N200 billion Port Harcourt Ring Road project, to be executed by the state government.
The statement reads in part: “The leaders and members of South South Youths Initiative are in deep worry over the N200 billion approved by the Rivers State House of Assembly for Governor Siminialaye Fubara to construct new projects in Port Harcourt including, a ring road in Port Harcourt.
“What has stood Lagos State out among other states of the nation is simply that development is equitably spread among its local government areas. This has ensured due development on all sides. Go to Lagos State today you will observe that every nook and cranny of Lagos State has turned into city. “It is regrettable that our leaders have failed to spread meaningful projects out of Port Harcourt, and even more shameful that Fubara who should make a difference in this area has resumed this same error of concentrating projects in Port Harcourt only.
“The previous administration concentrated its projects in Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt City Local Government Areas, we are surprised to observe that the newly installed government in Rivers State has resumed the ideology of concentrating its projects in the same two local government areas.
