Kalama link Bridge: Group Applauds Gov Fubara’s Commitment

In a significant boost to the infrastructure development of Rivers State, the Kalama Development Initiative, a socio-political pressure group, has praised Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara for approving the construction of a bridge that will connect the community to the rest of the state.

The group, founded in 2018 to address the socio-political concerns of youths, hailed the Governor’s commitment to enhancing connectivity and improving the lives of the state’s residents.

In a statement signed by founder Sobere Opusunju, MBCS,  and Head of Administration Comrade Inyie Okpukpo, the Kalama Development Initiative expressed gratitude for this vital infrastructure project. “This bridge will significantly improve access to markets, schools, hospitals, and other essential services for the people,” the statement read.

The initiative also extended heartfelt appreciation to Hon. Joe Johnson, the Hon. Commissioner for Information from Epellema, for his advocacy during the State Executive Council meeting.

Johnson’s dedication to his community’s well-being was acknowledged as a pivotal factor in moving the project forward.

The planned construction includes a 5.75 km road from Kalaibiama to Epellema, featuring a 450-meter bridge and solar lighting. This development is anticipated to enhance transportation safety and connectivity for several communities in the region.
