The development wave sweeping across Rivers State has landed firmly in Etche Local Government Area, where Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially commissioned the newly reconstructed 12.1-kilometre Egwi-Afara-Mba Road.
The completed infrastructure project, executed by Setraco Nigeria Limited, features a durable asphaltic binding course and extensive concrete drainage channels designed to ease transportation challenges. For commuters, farmers, and business owners within the Etche Ancient Kingdom, the route is set to dramatically slash travel hours and inject new life into local commercial activities.
Key Takeaways from the Etche Commissioning:
Overcoming Obstacles: Governor
Fubara noted that the road
contract, originally awarded
following community requests,
was pushed through during one of
the most testing phases of his
administration. He
emphasized that true governance is
defined by tangible achievements
rather than complaints.
Healthcare Pledge: Responding
directly to appeals from local
leaders, the governor promised that
his administration will deliver a
standard, fully-equipped general
hospital for Etche before the end
of his tenure, noting that
healthcare remains a top non-
negotiable priority.
Broader State Agenda: The Etche
road commissioning forms a
central part of a packed 11-day
state-wide infrastructure unveiling,
which also features
educational facilities at Captain
Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, new
healthcare centres, and key transit
routes spanning multiple local
government areas.
