…Visits Rivers Next Month
Rivers State Government says the Acting president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan is expected in the state next month on an official visit.
The Commissioner of Information and communications, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari disclosed this Wednesday while briefing Government House correspondents on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting in Port Harcourt.
Mrs. Semenirari said the state Governor who accompanied the Acting President on his trip to the United States of America briefed the Executive Council on the proposed working visit of Dr. Jonathan to the state in May 2010.
According to the commissioner, after the briefing, council resolved to set up a cabinet committee to prepare for the Acting President’s working visit and to identify some of the ongoing projects that may be inspected by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan during the visit.
Similarly, she said, the committee on waste management in Port Harcourt and its environs chaired by the Deputy Governor Mr. Tele Ikuru presented its report which made some fundamental recommendations and adopted by the council.
Mrs. Semenitari explained that council subsequently approved the acquisition of more dump sites and silos to be located in strategic places, especially in high density areas while bin liners would also be provided to enable residents bag their refuse for proper disposal.
She therefore appealed to residents of Port Harcourt and its environs to cooperate with the State Government in a bid to restore the garden city status of Port Harcourt, assuring that the present administration would continue to cater for the environment and health care needs of the people.
The commissioner equally said that council has directed the State Head of service to liaise with the Commissioner for Finance to check the multiplication of names in the payroll, since names of those who had passed on still continue to reflect in vouchers and make government spend huge sums of money on salaries and wages.
