Rumuokwuta

Rumuokwuta is a town in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria.[1][2]

The town is home to the newly constructed Cardiovascular and Cancer Screening Centre named after the former Rivers state governor, Dr. Peter Odili.[3][4] According to the Rivers State government, the cancer center is worth over 26 billion naira.[5][6]

The town also houses one of the newly constructed flyovers in Rivers State. The flyover connects Rumuokwuta to Rumuola, Rumuepirikom, Rumuigbo, and Mgbuoba axis of Port Harcourt.[7] The flyover was built by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC during Governor Nyesom Wike tenure as Rivers State Governor and commissioned by Bola, Ahmed Tinubu after his election as Nigeria's president-elect.[8][9]
