In her own contribution, the leader of the team, Mrs Ibifuro George said they were at the chairman’s office to present the Port Harcourt Centenary queen to the chairman and urged the council boss to assist the queen to achieve her pet project.
Presenting her pet project proposal to the council boss, the Port Harcourt Centenary queen said her aim of majoring in the pet project was to capture the mindsets of youth within the ages of 10-30, adding that youths of the state are very creative with many talents.
