Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has promised that his administration will build cottage industries and provide social amenities to create good job opportunities and sources of wealth for the people to promote peace and accelerated development in the State.
Governor Fubara made the promise during the inauguration of 13.985 kilometers Bori internal roads project in Khana Local Government Area on Tuesday.
The governor said, he feels delighted to celebrate the completion of the construction of the Bori Internal Roads for the great people of Khana, as it serves everyone within the Senatorial District and not just the people of Khana since Bori Town is the political headquarters of the Senatorial District.
“My interest for this Senatorial District is genuine. It is not about what I intend to get, but I cannot be separated from this Senatorial District. The success of this Senatorial District is my success.
“We must develop this district. I want to assure you that we are not limiting our development of this Senatorial District, Bori Town in particular, to only roads. We will give you good hospitals. We will attend to the school issues, and we will try our best to make sure that we bring cottage industries to this place. That is the only way Bori will develop. When there is employment, that is when development will come rapidly into Bori. And we must do it together,” he said.
“We must change that attitude. We must be accommodating. It is only when strangers come into your place, that is when development will come. You can’t develop on your own. People must come, live with you, and you have to accommodate them”.
Governor Fubara urged the people to continue to support his administration because it means well for the State, and assured that Bori Zonal Hospital will be among the first of such facilities that will be inaguarated in the State, which will address issues of healthcare in the Rivers South-East Senatorial District.
He said, “For my people, this road, we must own it. It is important that we maintain the drainage and the roads so that the Governor can do more,” describing Governor Fubara as a man with few words, a man with humility, a man who respects elders, who is not greedy but always willing to make sacrifice.
