As part of measures in
tackling the daunting economic challenges in the country, the Auditor-General for Local Governments in Rivers State, Mr Friday Bema has called for transparency in service delivery in every sector of the economy.
Bema who gave the charge during an interview with The Tide in his office in Port Harcourt recently, disclosed that transparency and accountability would boost productivity in all sectors and save the country from the pangs of economic recession.
