President-elect, Bola Tinubu, is billed to inaugurate the  Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and Magistrates’ Court building in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on May 3 and 4, 2023.

The 1007.5 metres Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover which connects Rumuola road to Ikwerre road is the 12th flyover built by Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration since 2019.

Governor Wike disclosed the president-elect would pay two days official visit to Rivers State next week during inspection tour of the Rumuola-Rumuokwuta flyover and Magistrates’ Court building in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Governor Wike said the president-elect was told when he came to campaign in Rivers State and paid a courtesy call to Government House, Port Harcourt in February 2023, that he would be invited to commission some of the landmark projects of his administration.

“We had invited presidential candidates of other parties like Labour, New Nigeria Peoples Party, they all came and commissioned projects and we did say to him (president-elect) that we believe that after the election, we are going to invite him to commission projects too. And luckily, these two very important projects are ready.”
