Fubara urges parties to respect Rivers peace process, says state now at rest

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has called for adherence to the ongoing reconciliation process, stating that peace is essential for the state's development. He noted that Rivers State is currently experiencing a period of stability after a protracted political crisis.

“

I personally took it upon myself to say that if I have to do anything here, it should be something that will have value. And I am very happy that the management of this school appreciates it.

Fubara made these remarks while inaugurating an Entrepreneurship Centre and an Engineering Faculty Building at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic in Rumuola. He highlighted his administration's commitment to leaving a lasting legacy through impactful projects that promote growth and development.

“

Today, what is the purpose of the Entrepreneurial Centre? It is a place where we prepare our own people. When you are through with that, you create your own business. You don’t need to start sending letters; you don’t need to start sending me texts that I promised 10,000 employments for civil servants.

“

That is how the world has gone. So if we have to prepare our youth, if we have to prepare our dear state for the challenge ahead, our programme has to be very strategic. So I have to say that I am very happy that the little thing we are able to do here is really, really appreciated. We also try to see any other thing we can add to what we have already done for you.

He further elaborated on the strategic importance of preparing the youth for future challenges, particularly in a world dominated by technology. Fubara stressed that the state's programs must be strategic to equip young people and prepare the state for the road ahead. He concluded by reiterating the necessity of maintaining peace, without which such development projects would not be possible.

“

I would like to say, on a final note, there is every need for everyone to abide by this peace. Without peace, we would not be here to inaugurate this project. And I’m happy that we have gotten that
