I assumed full governing responsibilities in February this year – Fubara.

On Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara said that his full governance of the state began in February 2024 though he was sworn in last May 29.

While he officially began his term in May, Fubara mentioned that he only commenced making decisions on his own in February of this year, eight months after assuming office.

He said this to the audience that graced the unveiling of the Egbeda internal roads in the Emohua Local Government Area of the state.

He said, “We are just starting but I assure you more attention. If in four months we can do this, and we are getting this level of applause, you can imagine what will happen when we do one year of our record time, two years of our own record time. Rivers State would have experienced something different from the regular governance.

“I know why I said four months. We started full governance in February 2024. That was when we started taking decisions, when we started confronting governance. And I am proud to say that our people are happy with what we have done.

“What we want to do is to bring governance to our people, service delivery at record time, and in a cost-effective way.”
