We’ll Remain Firm In Our Course For Rivers Dev, Fubara Vows

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has officially opened for use the remodeled Dental, Maxillofacial, Ear, Nose, Throat, and Ophthalmology Hospital in Port Harcourt.
The governor said even in his calm disposition, he would remain firm and follow his course for development to the benefit of the state.
Speaking at the official opening ceremony of the hospital located beside the Rebisi flyover in Port Harcourt City, Fubara said his administration was committed to advancing the interest and welfare of Rivers people, declaring that nothing can cause a deviation.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Governor of Rivers State, Boniface Onyedi, on Wednesday.
According to Fubara, whatever it would cost, the interest of the people and development of the state would remain paramount and there cannot be development without quality healthcare delivery, which is why the state-of-the-art facility has been provided.
The governor explained that what he was doing in the state for Rivers people also aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
According to him, “We came, we saw, we added, and we are opening for the benefit of our people.”
Earlier, the Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Oreh, had said the project, delivered before the stipulated 16 months, was designed to serve for specialised health services to patients, for training and medical researches.
According to her, the project entails a new administrative building with offices, a two hundred seating capacity conference hall, a separate reading library for patients and a fully equipped kitchen space, a cafeteria and a laundry section.
In a related development, Fubara has asked Rivers people and residents to protect critical infrastructure and social services provided for them as partners so that they can contribute their quota to the effective functioning of those facilities.
Fubara spoke at the inauguration and opening for public use the Prof. Kelsey Harrison Hospital located in Mile One, Diobu, Port Harcourt Local Government Area on Wednesday.
He noted that the hospital has been remodeled and made functional with taxpayers money requiring that the people who will use it and host community dwellers to own it by ensuring that it is not vandalised or the equipment misused.
The governor also assured that soon, the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital Board and the Healthcare Management Board would be reconstituted to handle the issues of employment into the health sector, in order to utilise their quota of the ongoing recruitment of 10,000 persons.
The Rivers State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Oreh, while providing description of the project said the 100-bed secondary healthcare hospital, located in the highly populated Diobu area of Port Harcourt was a 3-storey building.
She stated that it would strategically address the high burden of maternal mortality, infant and child mortality, diabetes, hepatitis, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.
