Golden Jubilee Logo: Wike Gets Kudos

The idea to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Rivers State by the present administration has been commended as it will reunite and bring back peace among all ethnics groups in the state.
These were opinions of many Rivers indigenes who spoke to The Tide after the official unveiling of Rivers State Golden Jubilee Anniversary logo in Port Harcourt. They said the conception is a product of good wisdom of a focused administration.
Those who spoke with The Tide included, Emeka Amadi, Saturday Nnah and Charles Owhonda. They urged the Golden Jubilee Committee not to exclude any ethnic group to avoid dissatisfaction among the people.
The Chairman, Media and Publicity Sub Committee, Prof. Joseph Ajienka said the official unveiling of Rivers State Golden Jubilee Anniversary logo is mostly a graphic mark, emblem or symbol commonly used by a country, state, commercial enterprise, organisation and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition.
Ajienka also said logos have powerful symbolic association connected to people’s memory, adding that Governor Wike understands the need for people to know their identity, hence the logo.
‘’The logo shows where we are coming from and our rich heritage. It gives citizens a sense of value, lifts their social psyche and motivates them to be patriotic and conduct themselves in a manner expected of worthy citizens’’, he noted.
Rivers State was formed in 1967 with the split of the Eastern Region of Nigeria. The state will be 50 years old on May 27th. It comprised of the area presently known as Bayelsa State until 1996 when the area was carved out of Rivers State.
