The South-South Youth Initiative (SSYI) has kicked against the planned N200billion 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.“We hear that Governor Fubara has conceived the ring-road project to be sited in Port Harcourt the same place the former administration, his benefactor, carried out all his acclaimed developmental projects.
“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.“No nation or state can make boost of development when only its city has light while rural communities with vibrant towns still live in squalors.
