He commended the Management of NLNG for building their corporate Head Office in the state as well as always identifying with their host communities.

Governor Wike expressed dismay the inability of the Federal Government to fulfil its own obligation of sixty Billion Naira out of the one hundred and twenty Billion Naira contract sum for the construction of the Bonny-Bodo Road but can afford to fund the construction of Abuja-Kano dual carriage way road project for the cost of over seven hundred and eighty Billion Naira.
