Despite renewed political tensions in Rivers State, Governor Siminalayi Fubara is moving ahead with the inauguration of 10 major projects designed to improve infrastructure and enhance socio-economic development across several local government areas.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Benibo Anabraba, announced this on Monday during a media briefing in Port Harcourt, emphasising the governor’s unwavering commitment to delivering people-oriented governance.

“As a government elected on the popular mandate of the good people of Rivers State, we pledged from inception to make the welfare of our citizens the primus of our social contract,” he said.
He noted that the administration has continued to provide critical infrastructure, strengthen welfarist programmes, and maintain peace and order to drive economic growth across the state.
“Despite the interregnum in democratic governance, we have taken off in earnest from where we stopped. We appreciate President Tinubu’s magnanimity, which ensured that this administration returned to fulfill its obligations to the people,” he added.
