GOVERNOR SIMINALAYI Fubara of Rivers State urged residents to remain patient with President Bola Tinubu’s policies, aligning with the Renew Hope agenda for a better Nigeria.

Addressing young protesters at the state government house on Thursday, he acknowledged the economic hardships leading to the protest.

The governor appealed for more time for President Tinubu’s administration to secure a better future for Nigerians.

He reassured Rivers residents of ongoing efforts to implement beneficial policies within the state.

He praised the protesters for maintaining peace and warned against those attempting to incite violence.

“I am not against your protest, but we will not support any violent actions. We will not join forces with those seeking to destabilize our state,” he stated.

Governor Fubara assured the public that their concerns would be communicated to the federal government.

“I already know your problems, and we will relay them to the federal authorities,” he said. He promised that his administration would continue to address basic needs and foster economic prosperity.

Promised Economic Reforms

In another event, Governor Fubara announced plans to establish the Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) to boost and sustain the state economy beyond crude oil and gas.

This was revealed on Thursday when he received the Rivers State Economic and Investment Summit 2024 report from the Central Organizing Committee at Government House in Port Harcourt.

He said the IPA will serve as a one-stop shop for business engagements, incorporating 15 recommendations from the summit.

These include improving the ease of doing business, reviving financial institutions, and establishing new industrial zones.

Mr. Chibeoso Aholu, Chairman of the Central Organizing Committee, presented the summit report, highlighting the need for policy frameworks to promote the state’s Blue Economy and address disruptions caused by community demands.

The governor also emphasized his commitment to creating a sustainable legacy and attracting investors to the state.
