LG Boss Restates Commitment To Oyigbo Dev
The Executive Chairman of Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State, Prince Gerald Oforji, has restated the commitment of his administration to fast track development in the area.
Disclosing this at a new year message to the people, the council boss said the massive support he received from the people would spur him to redouble his effort to make the gate way local government area an envy of all in the areas of security, infrastructure, youth empowerment, human capital development and sanitation.
The council chairman called for more collaboration and support from the people to enable him deliver more dividends of democracy to them.
Iforji, who noted with delight the fact that Oyigbo was one of the most peaceful local government areas in the state, said he would give maximum support to security agencies in the area, as exemplified by the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to make them work more effectively this year.
He lauded the professionalism security agencies exhibited especially during the Yuletide, noting that the support the security agencies received from the people of Oyigbo boosted their efforts such that the people celebrated the Christmas peacefully.
Oforji attributed his achievements to the massive support the State Chief Executive had given him since he assumed office, saying that the people of Oyigbo owe a lot to the Governor.
He said:” As a people, what we owe him is making sure that his developmental strides are totally replicated in Oyigbo , which no doubt, we have been doing.
“ Sanitation in Oyigbo has improved tremendously since we came on board. Empowerment of the people and infrastructure has often remained a duty we owe the people for electing us.
“ The recent Flag-off of Eke Ultramodern Market phase II shows our determination to deliver on electioneering promises. The project when completed would accommodate good number of people who sell on the road and engage idle youths.
