(AFRICAN EXAMINER)- Rivers Government has said that the 50.15km Dual Carriage Ring Road project is still ongoing as 77 per cent of the contract sum has been paid.

The Commissioner for Information, Mr Joe Johnson made the remark in Port Harcourt on Tuesday in a statement titled, ‘’Suspension of the PH Ring Road Project.’’
