Governor Fubara Visits Trans-Kalabari Road Site, Impressed with Pace of Work
Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Monday, October 27, 2025, visited the site of the ongoing 12.2-kilometre Trans-Kalabari Road Project, expressing satisfaction with the pace and quality of work being executed by Lubriks Construction Company.
During the inspection tour, the governor noted that piling work on Phase 1 of the project has reached about 75 percent completion, describing the progress as commendable.
âI personally came here to inspect this project. This is the Trans-Kalabari Road we flagged off about a year ago. I've been getting reports from the Ministry of Works, but I felt the need to come and see for myself what is happening here,â Governor Fubara said.
He explained that the first phase of the project, which extends to Bakana, includes four river-crossing bridges and nearly five decks on piles, adding that the difficult terrain has made the project technically demanding.
âWith what I have seen, I can rightly confirm that almost 75 percent of the piling work, which is key to completing the road, has been achieved. By the grace of God, in the next six months, I am very positive that when we return for inspection, we might run through the bridge,â he added.
Governor Fubara reiterated his administrationâs resolve to execute projects that will directly improve the lives of the people and promote even development across the state.
âThis is a key project that will turn around the lives of the Kalabari people immediately it is completed,â he emphasized.
