I am here to recover lost ground - Gov Fubara

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to move forward decisively and recover lost ground, adding that his government has the resilience required to deliver on its mandate. The Governor who made the statement during the swearing-in ceremony of five newly appointed Special Advisers at the Government House explained that the appointments were made to strengthen governance and ensure the smooth running of his administration. He noted that the appointees were not new to government, stressing that their prior experiences underscored the fact that they clearly understood the philosophy and objectives of his administration. According to him, their familiarity with the system will eliminate delays in performance monitoring and ensure that set goals are promptly achieved. The governor charged the Special Advisers to approach their responsibilities with a strong sense of duty, warning that the appointments should not be seen as a pleasure but a call to dedicated service. He said they had previously distinguished themselves in public office and expressed confidence that they would replicate such performance in their new roles. Governor Fubara further urged them not to disappoint the government and the people of Rivers State as they begin work to fulfill the administration’s social contract with the citizens. Those sworn in as Special Advisers are Barrister Eloka Tasie-Amadi, former Commissioner for Works; Professor Peter Medee, former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning; Barrister Emmanuel Frank Fubara, former Commissioner for Finance; Victor Ekaro, former Special Adviser on Security to former Governor Nyesom Wike; and Dr. Darlington Oji, former Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ikwerre Local Government Area.
