Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa has stated that Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is setting the pace in infrastructural development for others to follow.

Speaking before commissioning the Mgbuoshimini Model Primary School and Mgbuoshimini Primary Healthcare Centre in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area on Thursday, Governor Okowa said that Governor Wike is one of the special heroes of the current democratic dispensation.

He said: "He is re-defining the health sector, he is re-defining the education sector, re-defining the road infrastructural sector and other key areas of governance.

"He is one of our special heroes in Nigeria today. In re-defining these sectors, Governor Wike is setting the pace for us to follow".

The Delta State Governor added Rivers State came out tops on infrastructure in a national survey conducted.

Senator Okowa said that Governor Wike not only executes projects, but ensures that the people are blessed with quality projects.

"Governor Wike is not only Mr Projects, he is Mr Quality Projects. When you see good things and you don't admire them, you are either blind or a wicked man. I am excited to be here to witness these life changing projects ", Okowa said .

He said Governor Wike is committed to the service of Rivers people, pointing out that the Mgbuoshimini Primary Healthcare Centre is outstanding and may stand as a hospital in some states. He said that the Model Primary School is also a quality project that will develop the community.

Also speaking, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike thanked the people of Mgbuoshimini community for allowing the state government take over the disputed land which had claimed several lives.

He said: "I thank the host communities for allowing the state government take over the disputed land. When we came on board, this land had claimed lives and became a centre of criminality. We took over the land and constructed the school and health centre, which were lacking in the area".

The Rivers State Governor informed that the ongoing road project in front of the health centre and model primary school will be completed before the end of the year.

He commended Agip Nigeria Limited for furnishing the hospital, urging them them to do more for the community in terms of corporate responsibility.

Have heard so many bad things about Okowa but come 2019 he will be re elected again, this is Nigeria.

Kudos to AGIP - the Italian Oil giant for equipping the health center, hope they will be able to assist in Rivers State Government in running that place.

Kudos to Wike for inviting Okowa to commission the facility.
