The youths under the aegis of Rivers Patriotic Youth Development Initiative (RIPAYDI) have described the Chairman of Khana Local Government Council of Rivers State, Dr. Bariere Thomas, as a manager of human and material resources, who assumed office at the most difficult time in the socio-economic life of the area in particular and the state in general.
They said that despite the odds, the chairman has changed the tide in the area positively with an avalanche of development projects and people-oriented programmes.
The group also described the chairman as a man of peace, wisdom, vision and direction, who saw the need to develop the people of Khana, particularly the younger generation so that they can play their societal role as leaders of tomorrow.
They commended the council boss for the peaceful and successful one year anniversary celebration, and pledged their unalloyed loyalty and support to his government towards delivering quality services to the people.
