The Garden City is buzzing with renewed energy as the Rivers State Government rolls out a massive, multi-sector infrastructure offensive. Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has officially flagged off a sweeping 10-day commissioning marathon designed to deliver tangible, people-oriented projects across healthcare, education, transport, and aviation.
Headlining this wave of developments is the brand-new Neuropsychiatric Hospital and the adjacent New General Hospital in Rumuigbo, facilities set to dramatically upgrade specialized healthcare delivery in the state.
Inside the Blueprint: What’s Being Unveiled?
Announced during a high-level media briefing by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Dagogo Wokoma, the rollout spans multiple Local Government Areas, signaling an aggressive push toward balanced grassroots development.
While major roads like the Buguma–Degema–Abonnema road and the expansive Elele–Egbeda–Omoku dual carriageway form the backbone of the transit upgrades, the healthcare and institutional sectors are taking center stage:
