Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Lady Valerie Fubara, has stated that the administration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains committed to inclusive governance, social responsibility and welfare of citizens.

Lady Fubara disclosed this while hosting the first humanitarian Outreach/ Family and Community Day organised under the Renewed Hope Initiative of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

The Rivers State First Lady, who is also the founder of Valerie Simple Life Initiative, said the outreach stands as a solemn tribute and compassionate gesture designed to keep alive the memory of our shared history, while strengthening the sacred bond between government and the Legionnaires and their families.

She commended the courage, sacrifice and patriotism of the Armed Forces whose steadfast devotion has preserved the peace, unity and territorial integrity of Nigeria.

She said that the Rivers State Government would continue to support the veterans and their families through policies and programmes that uphold dignity, well-being and sustainable livelihood.

“Across the length and breath of our country, our Armed Forces have continued to demonstrate unwavering commitment in safeguarding lives, property and securing critical national assets,” she noted.

Dignitaries at the event include the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Prof Ngozi Ordu; Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr Roseline Apawari-Uranta; Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Dr Mrs Inyingi Brown, and Prof Roseline Konya, among others.

Lady Fubara led the participating women in  aerobics sessions to enhance their physical wellness, while the programme also featured games, cultural performances and presentation of gifts to the veterans and widows of fallen heroes.
