RSG, NGOs To Partner On Poverty Alleviation
The Rivers State Government has restated its readiness to partner with Non-Government Organisations, to alleviate poverty in the state.
The Commissioner for Budget/Economic Planning Mr. Charles Gogo said this while commissioning the new office complex of the Rivers State Community Foundation (RSCF) in Port Harcourt.
Gogo said that the state government is in support of the programmes and policies of the Foundation but stressed the need for its programme and policies to go beyond the cities to rural communities, while its activities should be made accessible in the state.
Also speaking, the immediate past president of MacArthur Foundation, Dr. Jonathan Fanton said that the foundation would support the effort of the RSCF to achieve set objectives in the state.
Dr Fanton however stressed the need for the organisation to make its policies and programmes transparent and accessible to the common man.
In his speech, a member of the board of trustees of the RSCF, Rev. Precious Omuku said members of the Foundation are people of high level integrity who do not belong to any political parties.
Rev Omuku who is also the chairman Rivers State Bureau on Public Procurement also said that every group will be carried along in the scheme of things.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
