Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers says his administration will continue prioritising the people’s interests under the mantra “Rivers First.”

Mr Fubara remarked during the praise night organised on Friday by the state government to mark his first year in office in Port Harcourt.

The governor, represented by his deputy, Ngozi Odu, solicited the people’s support in moving the state forward.

He urged the people to contribute their quota to assist the administration in achieving its vision of advancing the state’s fortunes.

“We shall continue to have this shared vision of putting Rivers State first, but we can’t do it alone.

‘’We need all of you, big and small, to be there for us, to chip in the little or the much you can, and at the end of this our first tenure, you will see where God will take Rivers State,” said Mr Fubara.

Mr Fubara thanked everyone who graced the occasion, especially the artistes, for the performances, which included singing and dancing.

Among the dignitaries who graced the occasion were the governor’s wife, Valarie Fubara; former Governor Peter Odili and his wife, retired Justice Mary Odili; and Rivers State chief judge Simeon Amadi.
