Today, I inspected the ongoing construction of the 25-unit six-bedroom flats being built for Commissioners and Special Advisers.
Our administration's intent is to cut rental costs for senior government officials and improve their productivity as well as enhance their security.
Considering the pace of work by the contractors, we are hopeful of completing the project within the stipulated timeframe. This will enable us to commission the housing project by November.
I was honoured to host and address our revered traditional rulers at the Southern Traditional Rulers Council Roundtable in Port Harcourt. I affirmed, “our beloved Rivers State is peaceful and always ready to host engagements that promote unity and development.”
Together, we must remain committed to strengthening southern unity by fostering peace and advancing the collective progress of our people and the nation under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Yesterday, I joined the good people of Opobo Kingdom and Rivers State to pay tribute to our revered monarch, Amanyanabo of Opobo Kingdom, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, Jeki V who transited at the age of 83.
At the funeral service, we reflected on his life and legacy. He lived an honourable life marked by calmness and dignity even in the face of adversity, he lived a life worthy of emulation.
We will forever remember him for his mien, composure and fatherly leadership. During his proactive reign, the Kingdom graced the state with eminent citizens including a deputy governor and a governor.
Our condolences go to the members of the bereaved royal family as we urge them to continue to value the importance of unity and personal industry.
Today, I received the leadership of Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG), led by its CEO, Mr. Adeleye Falade, at Government House, Port Harcourt.
The NLNG remains a strong example of how a proactive Public-Private Partnership (PPP) can drive efficiency, productivity and sustainable development when the right expertise is allowed to thrive.
The Government and people of Rivers State will continue to support organisations like the NLNG that are contributing meaningfully to economic growth and community development. Their success is our success and together, we will keep building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria.
Congratulations @ 74 to His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I was quite pleased to receive the Muslim Ummah in Rivers State on the occasion of Eid El-Fitr.
The visit was another opportunity to reaffirm our shared commitment to enhancing peace and unity in our State. We will continue to foster harmony and the protection of all residents so as to strengthen our collective prosperity.
On behalf of the government
and people of Rivers State, I
wish all Muslim faithful a joyous
Eid EI-Fitri.
May this occasion strengthen
our bonds of peace, unity and mutual respect among all faiths.
Eid Mubarak.
Today, I inspected the 33.5km Elele-Omudioga-Egbeda-Ubimini-Ikiri-Omoku dual carriage way. Considering the attention given to the project, I am impressed with the amount of work done as over 90% of the job has been completed.
With what we saw today, we are happy with the contractor's work progress and the assurances that the entire job will be delivered on or before the end of April.
The road project is very significant as one of our signature projects especially as it connects three critical local government areas of Ikwerre, Emohua and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni with emphasis on linking Omoku as a major gas hub in our State. The delivery of the road will further improve economic activity and the security of lives and property of our people along that axis.
