Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has emphasized the need for lasting peace in the state, urging members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to fully comply with the Supreme Court ruling in the interest of stability and development.
Speaking on Thursday during the inauguration of the renovated Okrika Grammar School in Okrika LGA, Fubara reiterated his commitment to peaceful governance, stating, "For me to govern effectively, there must be peace. The Supreme Court has ruled, and we must abide by it."
He also highlighted the government’s intervention in revamping the school, following a request from the Diocese of Okrika Anglican Communion. The renovation aligns with his administration’s focus on education, healthcare, and food security.
Rivers State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Ovy Chukwuma, described the project as a testament to Fubara’s dedication to quality education. The renovations included modern classrooms, hostels, an ICT library, laboratories, an administrative block, perimeter fencing, and improved sports facilities.
Fubara assured the Anglican Church that experts would assess erosion threats to the school’s land, ensuring its long-term sustainability. The event saw praise from the Old Boys Association, community leaders, and religious figures, who commended the governor for restoring the institution’s legacy.
