LG Boss Scores Administration High On Service Delivery

The Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Council of Rivers State, Dr. Enyiada Cookey-Gam, says his administration is poised to unleash more developmental initiatives in the local government.
Speaking with journalists shortly after commissioning some projects embarked upon by his administration to mark its second anniversary in office, Cookey-Gam said he was ready to drive the council area to another level of industrialisation in the last lap of his government.
Cookey-Gam, who spoke highly of his performance in the past two years, stressed that he will redouble his achievements in grassroots transformation and work harder to surpass the gains of the past years.
“I want to really thank the people for being exceptionally supportive. They are of high capacity and quality in their support to this government. We did so well in our transformation efforts and the quality of service delivery to the local government and its citizens, especially in human capital development”, Cookey-Gam said.
Recounting various economic challenges encountered in the recent past, Cookey-Gam asserted that his administration will work harder to weather every storm in order to move the local government to an enviable  height.
He assured that he will embark on more pro-people and life-touching development projects for the wellbeing of Opobo/Nkoro people, who he said have remained supportive through prayers for fruitful results.
Meanwhile, Dr. Cookey-Gam has eulogised members of his cabinet for their laudable contributions toward the development of the local government as well as helping his leadership to provide the needed democracy dividends.
He also berated what he termed sponsored media reports scoring his administration low in performance and called on the public to disregard the reports.
“I carried the youths, women, elderly even stranger elements along in governance. I am emphatically passing a vote of confidence on my cabinet members and the electorate in the area for their good works despite some daunting challenges surrounding the administration.
“We have been able to touch the lives of the people and I am particularly grateful to all of them and pray God’s continuous grace to enable us move the area forward developmentally.
“We did not let our people down as we operate an ‘open-door policy’ administration while in  the leadership of the local government as leaders. Our several development projects are scattered across the communities in the LGA. “I am deeply happy that we were able to empower our people, including youths who were empowered with varieties of welfare largesse, among other empowerment programmes which speak volumes for our tenure”, Cookey-Gam said.
