Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, says he was able to return and remain in office after the state’s six-month political crisis due to the “special favour” and support of President Bola Tinubu.
Fubara made the comment on Saturday during the combined 37th and 38th convocation of Rivers State University (RSU), Nkpolu-Oroworokwu, Port Harcourt, where he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustained funding of the institution as part of broader efforts to strengthen the state’s education sector.
The governor, responding to concerns raised by the university’s management, said many of the issues affecting the school had emerged because democratic governance in the state was briefly disrupted.
“You all know what happened in the life of our administration. It is only by the special grace of God, the special favour from Mr President, that we are still standing as those presiding over the affairs of Rivers State,” he said.
Fubara assured staff, students, and other stakeholders that his administration had fully resumed its responsibilities and would address the complaints presented during the convocation.
