Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has given a grant of N100m (One Hundred Million Naira) to Ogu/Bolo Local Government Council to augment  steps taken by the council on developmental projects, including the linking of Bolo Town to the national grid to boost social and economic activities in the area.

Amaechi spoke Thursday at a Town Hall Meeting with the people of Ogu/Bolo, at Ogu, the headquarters of Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area of the State.

“The cardinal projects in my administration are Education, Health, Road and Power. Your chairman has done well in the area of power, we will support her with a N100 million grant, because the Ogu/Bolo council has taken the rural electrification project which is also our priority project in the area of power”,  Amaechi said.

Governor Amaechi also said, it is necessary and strategically important for his administration to commence the building of a ModelSecondary School in the area by June this year, while urging the people of Ogu/Bolo to provide 21 hectares of land for the school.

“It is your entitlement, we hold the money for Rivers people and before June this year, we will bring out the money and mobilize contractors to site, I also want the Commissioner for Education to bring me the survey plan to ensure we have 21 hectares of land, this is government project, so ignore who owns the land, let us get 21 hectares of land.  This is because, it is not only Ogu/Bolo people that will go to school there, it is the entire RiversState”, Amaechi said.
