PH Jetty Contract Excites Youth Body

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has expressed delight over the recent award of contract for the construction of the Bonny, Bille Nembe jetty by the Rivers State Government.
The Chairman of the Opobo/Nkoro chapter of the body, Comrade Aaron Godwin Jaja, made the commendation when the members paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner of Transport, Deacon Akie Dagogo Fubara, in his office in Port Harcourt.
Godwin also commended the state government for the expansion of the Okrika jetty recently which he said would give the people a sense of belonging in this present democratic dispensation in the state.
He informed the Commissioner that they were in his office to felicitate with him on his appointment and also explore possible ways of collaborating with his Ministry to achieve set goals, and also thanked the Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, for the appointment.
In his response, the transport Commissioner, Deacon Fubara said that the youth as integral part of every system cannot be undermined, because they are the future leaders of any society, stressing that every successful generation needs the youth to succeed.
Fubara noted that the predicament that is facing the nation today was that about 95 per cent of the people are thinking about themselves and what they would gain from the system without thinking of what they would contribute to better the lot of the society, and urged them to always contribute their quota, in the quest to develop the state.
The Commissioner, who took time to explain the various projects embarked upon by the Wike-led administration in the state despite the paucity of funds especially in the transport sector, further urged them to continue to support the government in its bid to give the Rivers people a new lease of life.
