Rumuokoro Flyover — Attraction in Rivers State

It is a very rowdy and busy place on most days. The Rumuokoro flyover links ikwere road all the way to rukpoku, eneka, igurutali and other outskirt of rivers state. It also links east west road that is the Choba axis to the Tank, eleme and oil mill area. There are banks, churches and other stores in the area. The Rumuokoro market which is immediately after the flyover is a good place to buy food items, clothing items, shoes, electronics, kids toys, jewelry and other items. There is UBA, Ecobank, Fidelity Bank, Access Bank, Zenith bank and others banks around the flyover. The major landmark there is the Emmanuel Anglican Church. There are also car parks there for those looking for vehicles to travel to Bayelsa state, Owerri, Aba, Delta state and other states.

Thus, that strategically located flyover will be what the initiator wanted it to be: a blessing...

Rumuokoro flyover is truly a blessing because growing up in this environment I can tell you that wike did well because as of then, it was as if the road traders were going to take over the whole road causing serious traffic jams and the rest but as a result of this infrastructure I can say that it has been reduced, the thing now I don't like about this place now is that the Sars Police men staying under the flyover are seriously harassing young man and boys anyhow as a result of them just dressing clean and good it's very annoying and alarming the government should do something about this because I see no reason why they should be trying to go through someone's phone for no reason as if it's what...
