Work With Fubara, Rivers’ Diaspora Professionals Urge Wike
President of Rivers Professional in Diaspora, Mazi Lucky Chukwuladi, has urged Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to jettison sentiment and work with the Government of Rivers State, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, to better the State.
Speaking on a live radio programme in Port Harcourt, Mazi Chukwuladi decried the hostility the FCT Minister has displayed that has painted the state in bad light.
He stated that the current posture of Wike, the immediate past Governor of the state, and his opposition to programmes of Sir Fubara’s administration is capable of scarring investors in the state.
Accusing Wike’s administration of discouraging investors and not attracting direct foreign investment during his tenure, Chukwuladi said time has come for a new narrative.
The new narrative, he said, should be to reduce crime, engender peace and promote the local economy.
He advocated for a new agric industrialization in the state by creating zonal farming sites to harness the huge agro potentials across the state.
On how to harness the huge youth potentials of the state, the Rivers Professionals in Diaspora said this can be done through information technology.
With ICT, Mazi Chukwuladi advised on the need for the State Governor to evolve a blue print on youth development capable of diverting the economy into non-oil areas.
