‘Rivers N1bn Monthly Savings Guarantees Stable, Prosperous Future’

The Rivers State Local Government Service Commission has said that the compulsory saving of N1billion monthly by the present administration in the state would guarantee a stable and prosperous future for the state.
The commission chairman, Chief Ephraim Subere Etete-Owoh who said this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said that by the gesture, Governor Amaechi is laying the foundation of a prosperous new Rivers State.
He said that the governor within two years of his administration has done well in the area of roads dualisation and rural road projects, bridges, agricultural development, including Greater Port Harcourt City Development.
Other areas in which the commission also rates the administration high include health, education among others.
In his words, “the revolutionalisation of the education sector with the building of modern and model primary and secondary schools in all the local government areas, the new state university, the upgrading of the college of education to a university and massive scholarship scheme (local and foreign) are bold steps taken by Amaechi so far to reawaken the Rivers consciousness”.
