2019: PCRC Boss Counsels Youth On Peaceful Elections
The Chairman, Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC), Chief Casca Ogosu, has counselled youths in Rivers State not to indulge in any act capable of tarnishing their image before and during the forthcoming general elections.
Chief Ogosu who is also the Chairman, Board of Patrons of Rivers State Youth Federation (RSYF), handed down the advice while speaking at the end of the year’s get-together and 6th anniversary celebration of the organisation held in Port Harcourt recently.
He enjoined members of the RSYF to be good ambassadors of peace and conduct themselves in a manner that would promote peace and harmony in their communities, noting that youth have important roles to play in the development of the society while commending the leadership of the organization for its consistent effort at developing the youths of the state to become good future leaders.
In his address, the President of RSYF, Comrade Patrick Saviour, said the body since inception in 1992 had produced many ambassadors of peace who were committed to the progress and development of the state but frowned at the lukewarm attitude of some members toward the activities of the organisation.
He urged the government to pay attention to the welfare of Rivers youths by creating employment and empowerment programmes to reduce the rate of crime and other social vices, pointing out that the body was formed with the aim to bring youths together to foster peace, unity and progress.
Charging RSYF Coordinators at the local government levels to put in place programmes that would promote the activities of the organization and improve their welfare, the president said the body had mapped out a lot of activities for next year that would take them to a higher level.

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.
