Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers says his administration will continue to support President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms to promote peace and prosperity in the country.
Fubara made the remarks at Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day Anniversary Parade at the Government House Arcade on Tuesday in Port Harcourt.
He promised to support the President’s economic reforms in-line with his focus on critical projects’ sustainability as the state witnessed an increase in its Internally Generated Revenue.
According to him, he will focus on delivering critical projects, promote peace, and good governance in spite of the current political challenges in the state.
The governor acknowledged some heroic sacrifices by the nation’s founding fathers, leaders, brave men and women, who had made numerous achievements in sustaining freedom and promoting the unity and progress of the country.
“The vision of our founding fathers at independence was to build a united and secure nation anchored on the values of brotherhood, democracy, justice, and the equality of all peoples, tribes and nations,” he said.
The governor expressed concern over challenges of insecurity, economic hardship and political crises bedeviling the country after 64 years of self-rule.
He said the state government would join hands with the Federal Government in its quest for good governance.
