Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has said his administration will commence another round of commissioning in mid February
Gov. Fubara said this while addressing Rivers people at a New Year Day State Banquet in Government House, Port Harcourt.
According to him, the commissioning will not just be roads but other projects from different sectors.
The governor, commended former Governor of the state, Peter Odili and other past Rivers political leaders, adding that the beginning and end of politics in the state is Odili.
He said, “I honestly thank our leaders, from Sir Dr. Peter Odili, Sir Celestine Omehia, Sen Mbata, Sir Austin Okpara, Prince Uche Secondus, Dr. Abiye Sekibo to others.
“The beginning and the end of politics in this state is Sir Dr. Peter Odili. And if he is sitting with us and with these other persons, who do they have with them?
“This Dr. Odili is the right face and right image of our State. These are the frontiers of Rivers state. Men and women that have distinguished themselves are sitting with us. People who have contributed in several ways to make Rivers State what it is, not rented people they bring for dinner.
According to him “A lot of person wouldn’t understand what is really happening. This is not to say we didn’t have people that were with us and following us and fighting, but one of the troubles they (detractors) have where they’re today is that they don’t have any face with them.
He added that no detractor will prevent him from taking the state to new heights in development.
He assured the people that year 2025 is going to be a year of all round achievements, declaring that by February 2025 his administration will embark on projects commissioning in other sectors, saying, “This time around, not roads. Our Fire Service, you can see what we are doing there.
“For over nine years, there was no functional Fire Service, but today I can proudly tell you that we’ve bought all the vehicles and we are remodelling the offices.
