In a recent video shared on Symfoni tv, the Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral (Rtd) Ibok Ete Ekwe Ibas, has described the Trans-Kalabari Road Project as a strategic initiative aimed at addressing the socioeconomic difficulties experienced by residents in the riverine communities of the state.
Vice Admiral (Rtd) Ibas made this assertion on Monday during an inspection tour of the ongoing Trans-Kalabari Road Project in Rumuolumeni Community, as well as the Permanent Secretaries’ Quarters in Rumuokwurushi Community, both in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

The Trans-Kalabari Road Project, which is expected to improve connectivity between riverine communities and the mainland, has been a long-anticipated development aimed at enhancing trade, transportation, and overall economic activities in the region.
