Quoting Psalm 23:5, he said, “God prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. It means that nothing comes easy.” He added that he and his administration were undeterred and committed to fulfilling their promises of good governance for the people of Rivers State, regardless of the difficulties they faced.

“But, like I said before, the worse is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.”

Governor Fubara speaking on the project, identified health, education, and agriculture as top priority sectors where his administration would not compromise attention and would do everything possible to ensure optimal services can be accessed by the people.

He said: “We are here today. I believe that from next week, we should be visiting Degema, Ahoada, Omoku, and also ensure that we visit the site of the Modern General and Psychiatric Hospitals in Rumuigbo to see the extent of work that is going on.

“But for now, we are satisfied with what we are seeing here. When we say: zonal hospital, this project is not just for the people of Khana. It is not just for the people of Gokana, even my own constituency, Opobo/Nkoro will also benefit from this facility.
