Sir Fubara, who announced that he will soon sign the contract papers and eventually flag off the 50.15 Kilometers Port Harcourt Ring Road as a legacy project, assured that his administration will continue to do the right thing within the New Rivers Vision.


In presenting the law, Leader of the House, Hon. Edision Ehie explained that the principal law - 2023 Budget, was altered by injecting a subhead that is dedicated to addressing the multifaceted Port Harcourt Ring Road project that will unveil the socio-economic potentials of the state and put it on a competitive status in Africa.


In his remark, Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule said lawmakers have watched with admiration the impressive performance of the administration of Sir Siminalayi Fubara and assured that the legislature will continue to offer requisite support to achieve success.


With the additional N200bn Supplementary Budget to the initial N550bn Budget, the total Rivers State budget for the 2023 fiscal year is now N750bn, placing Rivers State second to Lagos State.
