I am using this platform to humbly appeal to our Governor,Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to as a matter of urgency to come the aid of the people living around Rumuigbo new lay out by Barber's street linking Ogologo and Jesus Avenue. As part of his ongoing massive road construction in the state especially at this dry season. We have suffered a lot since 1999 till date no government or NDDC has thought it wise to do something in this area. What these areas needs most is good drainage system(deep enough - 1.2x1.5m) either subsurface or surface to be able to accumulate the volume of flood water that is always associated with rain fall during the season. These drainages can be channelled to the natural canals along NTA/Mgbuoba road or alternatively connected to the NTA road drainage. If this is done, 80% of the problem we are facing here would have been solved as we can manage with state of the road because we are used to it and it is better to have the drainages than to have road with no good drainage to channel the flood waters.
Our able Governor, please we appeal to you to kindly help us as you are presently working on other roads.And God shall continue to bless you and we stand by you always.
