Today, I charged our newly sworn-in Commissioners to bring their very best to the service of Rivers people.

The task before us is clear; to harness all our expertise and experience into delivering progress, strengthening governance and accelerating development across our state.

We remain committed to building a better Rivers State for all.

Today, I received the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, at the Government House, Port Harcourt.

Our discussion centred on strengthening the partnership between the Nigerian Air Force and Rivers State to improve on the security and stability of our dear state and the wider Niger Delta area. I reaffirmed our commitment as a government to continue to support our security agencies in every way possible because the safety of our people and the protection of lives and property remains a top priority for this administration.

We will keep working closely with the Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies to build a safer and more secure Rivers State.

Yesterday, we held a State banquet in honour of an illustrious son of Rivers State, Honourable Justice Obietonbara Owupele Daniel-Kalio, who just retired from the Court of Appeal. The event was in recognition of his unwavering commitment to service of State and nation.

Worth celebrating is his impeccable integrity on the bench which is a lesson to the younger generation and a pride to us all. Hosting the jurist of inestimable value is our little way of recognizing dedication and contribution to the growth of the judiciary not just in our State but Nigeria as a whole.
