NMA Endorses ‘#OurStateOurResponsibility’ Campaign
The Rivers State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has endorsed #”OurStateOurResponsibility” advocacy campaign launched by the Rivers State Ministry of Information and Communications, recently.
The Chairperson of the association, Dr Obelebra Adebiyi, said during an advocacy visit by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, that the campaign was necessary and timely to instill the virtue of patriotism and moral values on the society.
Adebiyi said that medical doctors in Rivers State would not only key into the programme, but would take it beyond the shores of the state.
She also called on the ministry to take up the challenge by ensuring that the campaign gets to the door steps of every one living and doing business in the state.
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Rivers State Ministry of Information and Communications, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, had said that the visit was to invite the association to join the clarion call on everyone living and doing business in the state to understand that the state belongs to all.
Nsirim regretted that despite the giant strides by the Chief Nyesom Wike-led administration in infrastructures and security, some persons who belong to the vocal minority, were still painting the state black, and creating the impression that the state is not safe for investment.
He said that the association must sensitise its members of the investment-friendly environment in the state, emphasising that the continuous flights of Turkish Airline to and from Port Harcourt were clear indication that Rivers State was an investors’ haven.
The permanent secretary also said that the recent launching of the “Operation Sting” security outfit by the governor has led to the mass exodus of criminals from the state.
He further called on the people to support the ongoing effort by the governor to ride the state of street trading, illegal markets and motor parks for the good of all.
