Indigenes of Andoni local government area of Rivers State say the completion of the Andoni section of the Ogoni/Andoni/Opobo/Nkoro Unity Road, has now further opened the area to the international community.

For Honourable Kingston Sylvanus Nelson, “this is a road that was abandoned for 24 years, but today, God has used Governor Fubara to complete it.

Former organizing secretary of the PDP in Andoni local government area, Elder Blessing Jackson Tiko declared that “God has used our son to clean tears from our eyes; all Andoni people will turn out that day to welcome him.”
