P/HARCOURT (Sundiata Post) – Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has restated his administration’s commitment to make positive footprints in the state before leaving office, stressing that despite the distractions, his eyes are on the ball.
He also re-acknowledged the hardship faced by the people, while suing for patience and peaceful disposition as well as the need to work together with President Bola Tinubu and the state government to build the Nigeria and Rivers State that they all desire to see.
Governor Fubara made the assertion during the funeral reception late Sister Inyangette Shulammite Yobana, mother of Caretaker Committee Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Amb. Marvin Yobana, at her hometown, Kono in Khana Council Area of the State yesterday.
The governor reassured that his administration’s position not to toy with the education of Rivers State children and healthcare of the people, and emphasised that the government would invest massively in agriculture with a view to boost food production.
He said: “We are in trying times. So, we need to work together to make sure that we build that Nigeria, that Rivers State of our dream.
“Please, everybody should learn to be patient and peaceful. It gets hard before it gets better.
We are at the point of that breakthrough to a wonderful state, and the envy of the country. When I say the envy of the country, if we pass through this state, Nigeria will be great. We just have to support Mr President to make sure that this phase passes.
“I have said it before, and I am saying it again: I will not leave without making a positive impact in the life of our state. No matter the distraction, our eyes are on the ball.
“We will not play with the education of our children. We will not joke with quality healthcare (for the people), and we will make sure that we invest heavily in food production in our state,” he said.
