Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State says his administration will continue to do everything possible to ensure that the expectations of Rivers people are met regardless of pockets of political distraction.
Fubara gave this assurance shortly after swearing-in five new commissioners and two special advisers at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He insisted that governance is about the provision of quality development of both infrastructure and appropriate social amenities, that contribute to making living pleasurable and better for the people.
He, therefore, assured that his administration will remain focused with greater determination to deliver on its responsibility to justify the support received from over 8 million Rivers people.
The commissioners that were sworn in are: Hon. Ilamu Arugu (Abua/Odual); Dr Roland Obed-Whyte (Degema); Sir Austin Emeka Nnadozie (Etche); Hon. Samuel Eyiba (Ahoada West); and Hon Samuel Anya (Abia State); while the Special Advisers include Barrister Forgive Amachree (Ahoada-West); and Mr Achor Nna (Obio-Akpor).
“We are into governance now, not politics. When we get to politics, we will talk about politics. But today, what we are doing here is welcoming you onboard, charging you to be good ambassadors, not just to this administration, but to your people.
“It is a call to duty. Work in a manner so that everybody will be happy. Governance is about making the people happy, and that is our aim.
“At the end of the day, Rivers people will not ask us what or the number of court judgements that we have or the protests that we did. They want to see results. Joining us today is to help us to have enough A’s on our report card,” he said.
