Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reaffirmed his dedication to the “Rivers First” vision, describing it as the foundation of his administration’s policies and programmes over the last three years.
In a goodwill message marking his third year in office, the Rivers State governor said his government has remained focused on putting the interests, welfare, and aspirations of Rivers people at the heart of every decision since he assumed office.
Fubara explained that the administration’s major investments in road infrastructure were designed to bridge the gap between rural and urban communities, create economic opportunities, and accelerate development across the state. He noted that transformative projects such as the Port Harcourt Ring Road, Trans-Kalabari Highway, Elele/Umudioga/Egbeda/Ubimini/Ikiri/Omoku Road, and the Ngo-Atlantic/Oyorokoto Road were driven by a broader vision of positioning Rivers State as a leading destination for investment and growth.
Beyond infrastructure, the governor highlighted ongoing efforts to improve education and healthcare services, while also maintaining peace and security as key priorities of his administration.
Expressing appreciation to the people of Rivers State for their continued trust and support, Fubara pledged to ensure that public resources are prudently managed and used to improve the lives of citizens.
He credited the progress achieved so far to the resilience, cooperation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of Rivers people, stressing that development becomes possible when government and citizens work together toward shared goals.
“What we have achieved in three years shows that meaningful progress can be made when government and the people are united in purpose,” he said.
The governor further renewed his promise to lead with openness and accountability, listen to the concerns of residents, and ensure that every project, policy, and public expenditure serves the best interests of the people.
While acknowledging that challenges still exist, Fubara called on all stakeholders—including elders, youths, women, traders, teachers, farmers, artisans, and professionals—to continue contributing to the growth and development of the state.
He also congratulated Rivers residents and Nigerians on the country’s 27 years of uninterrupted democratic governance, describing it as Nigeria’s longest stretch of civilian rule since independence. According to him, the endurance of democracy reflects the ability of the nation’s diverse ethnic groups to coexist, resolve differences, and work together in pursuit of national development and unity.
