Local Government Areas To Benefit From My Administration - Gov. Wike


Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that all the 23 local government areas  of the state will benefit  from  his development projects as part of his vision to recreate the state.

This is as the leaders of the State have expressed satisfaction  with Governor Wike for judiciously  applying  scarce resources  for the development  of the State.

Addressing journalists  after  leading selected leaders of Rivers State on the inspection  of  projects on Saturday,  Governor Wike  said  that despite the financial  downturn, he will deliberately  ensure the spread of development  projects.

The governor said: "I have  led the leaders on this project  tour,  so that they can appreciate  what we are doing with  scarce  resources available to the state .  The leaders are happy with  what we are doing and we are quite satisfied.

"We give God the glory for giving  us the wisdom to manage with the scarce resources.  We shore up the little  we get from the Federation  Account with our little  Internally Generated Revenue to ensure   that  we pay salaries  and sustain the execution  of development  projects ".

He  said  the successful  biometric  exercise  has reduced  the  wage bill of the state, making more resources  available  for  development.

Governor Wike added: "Our resolve is that God willing , we will  make our impact  felt in all the 23 Local Government Areas of the state ".

In an interview  after the project tour,  Former Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus stated that Governor Wike is building  for the future with his selection  of  projects.

He said: "Governor Wike has come up with a vision to build a new Rivers State and he is achieving the dream  of the people ".

In his remarks,  Senator George Sekibo said the vision of the state governor  is not ordinary  as it has transformed  the landscape  of the state.

Member of the House of Representatives, Hon Ken Chinda said: "I have  seen somebody who is a governor with a difference.  He is a governor who is doing more  with less resources.

"As a Rivers man ,  I am happy  that God  has given us a visionary leader".
