Rivers State Commissioner for Housing, Tasie Nwobueze has commended the vision of the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for putting up an aesthetic estate for judges of the State, describing it as “unprecedented and the best in the country”.

Nwobueze, who made the remarks after an unscheduled inspection visit to the sites of the judges’ quarters and the quarters for officers of the Department of State Services (DSS), which are currently ongoing in Port Harcourt, thanked the State Governor for giving the officers of the Ministry of Housing the opportunity to supervise the construction of the quarters.

According to a statement by the Information Officer in the State Ministry of Housing, Idanye Oruigoni, the Commissioner, who was highly impressed with the level and quality of work at the estates, however, directed that the grasses at the judges’ quarters be watered and mowed by the contractors to make them really green and beautiful before the commissioning date.

Nwobueze also said that the Ministry will ensure that an architect and engineer from the Ministry were posted to oversee the quality of work at the DSS quarters especially as the buildings are high rising ones.

The Housing Commissioner pleaded with the State Governor to give the Ministry more opportunities to handle and supervise housing projects in the State to prove that the Ministry is the custodian of the different professionals in the housing industry.

He reiterated that the Ministry was running with the vision of the State Governor as it concerns Housing, expressing optimism that the Governor may likely go into the current construction of more quality and affordable houses this fiscal year in the State for the benefit of the people.

The State Commissioner for Housing was accompanied on the inspection visit by the Permanent Secretary, Dirokweni Amiofori, and directors of the Ministry.
