My Mission Is To Make Rivers United Best Club In Nigeria – Green

The Sole Administrator of Rivers United Football Club of Port Harcourt, Barrister Christopher Green, has reiterated that his mission is to ensure that United becomes the best club in Nigeria. 
He vowed to be prudent and cut down excesses in his administration but will ensure that players and officials receive what is due them at any given time.  
Barrister Green, said this in a telephone interview with Tidesports, yesterday, saying that for him to succeed, it is important for all stakeholders to contribute meaningfully towards the success of the club. 
He explained that within the period under review, he has been able to stabilise the club in all ramifications. 
According to him, he is committed to the task given to him by the Governor, as he (the governor) has his reasons for removing the club from the Sports Ministry. 
“As I speak to you, I am 100 percent loyal to Governor Nyesom Wike. He is a visionary leader.  Honestly, when it comes to infrastructural and sports development in Nigeria, Wike is number one. He has shown it on several occasions by hosting international sports competitions,” he said. 
All Rivers people and those living in the state should take the club as their project,” Green said. 
Reacting to the issue of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Rivers State Chapter, he said that the association is not fair to him, because they have not sought any audience with him for him to intimate them on how the club works. 
“To me, I can say that the association is not fair to me, they have not sought any audience with me to marshal out things yet, through phone calls, I accepted their nomination in every continental engagement outside the country. 
I have been in the football business for a very long time, so I know the importance of publicity in sports. Consequently, it is not possible to ignore journalists,” he stated.
