The Governor gave the charge during the inauguration of the new Board at the Government House in Port Harcourt where he urged members of the agency to work as a team to achieve results.
He noted that the Rivers State Road Maintenance Agency has no powers to award contracts adding that the agency in the past awarded contracts to the tune of one billion naira without authorization.
Governor WIKE said the agency is the direct labour arm of the Rivers State Government, with the responsibility of ensuring that roads do not degenerate.
According to a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, SIMEON NWAKAUDO, Governor WIKE warned the members of the Agency against misappropriating funds meant for road rehabilitation.
He reminded the agency that that previous boards were unceremoniously dissolved due to internal squabbles, urging them to avoid needless infighting.
On his part; Chairman of the Agency, PRINCE TIMOTHY NSIRIM assured Governor WIKE that members of the board will live up to expectations.
