‘Rivers SEEFOR Programme May Extend To 2019’
The State Employment and
Expenditure for Results (SEEFOR), says it would give more development grants and extend its programmes in Rivers State to September, 2019.
SEEFOR Task Team Leader, at the World Bank, Ismael Sese, stated this when he led members of his team on a courtesy call to the Rivers State Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Isaac Kamalu at his office in Port Harcourt, recently.
He commended the state government for its achievement in human capacity development.
“We observed that the state has ostensibly made better progress than we had anticipated even before we came here.
“The targets we had agreed with the new management and the government’s push in ensuring that the sub-components receive implementation and progress are achieved”, he said.
The team leader expressed the willingness of the World Bank to partner with the Rivers State Government irrespective of protocol.
“We at the World Bank are willing and ready to partner with you on a continuous basis. You can call us over weekends, during the week, at night or morning and any other time and we are willing to collaborate with you to provide support”, he said.
Meanwhile, Rivers State Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Isaac Kamalu in his remark called for more support in the improvement of the state on internally generated revenue through more development programmes.
“We are pleased with your report that we have moved way up now and we will continue to have this relationship because as a state we need your support, particularly in areas of internally revenue mobilisation”, he said.
He urged the team to take an all embracing step to address areas like women empowerment and local government service structure.
“So I think that maybe you will have to look at these as you are looking at the areas of women empowerment including even the local government service structure”, he said.
