(Nigeria) Rivers
State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike has stated that his administration was
committed to making Rivers people
happy through the continuous execution of pro-people
projects.
Governor Wike also announced that the Rivers State Government will employ additional 450 youths to strengthen the Task Force on Street Trading, Illegal Markets and Motor Parks in the bid to clean up Port Harcourt.
Speaking
after inspecting projects that will be
commissioned during his first 100 days for the second term on Tuesday, Governor
Wike assured Rivers people that he will work
diligently to surpass his first term achievements.
He said:
"I believe that when we celebrate our first 100 days of our second term,
the people will know that we are still
working.
"I
know that Rivers people will be happy at the end of the day. They will see that we have continued to deliver
on our campaign promises."
Governor
Wike expressed satisfaction with the
quality of work at the Real Madrid Football Academy. He said that the Academy will commence operations after it is
commissioned as part of the 100 days celebration.
"The
Real Madrid Football Academy will help us groom our children who would
want to take Football as their
career. Today, our kids who won the
Channels Kids Cup are heading to Spain. When they return, they will be the
first set to be admitted into the academy.
"As
part of our first 100 days in office, we will commission the Real Madrid
Football Academy and the school will
start operations. The standard of the
facility is appreciated," he said.
At the
Government Craft Development Centre in Port Harcourt, the Governor said that
the reconstruction work will re-position the institution.
He said
that the quality of work done at the Government Craft Development Centre shows
that indigenous contractors also have the capacity to deliver in line with approved
specifications.
On the
operations of the Task Force, Governor Wike said the first two days have shown
that the Task Force will be successful in carrying out its legal responsibilities.
"With
what we have seen, it means they will do well.
We will employ additional 450 youths to be involved in the total operation to clean Port
Harcourt. We will not tolerate street trading again.
"Why
we have not started arrests and prosecution is to let people know that we are a friendly government. But
at the end of the week, we will start
arrests and prosecution of offenders.
But for now, we are saying, stop that illegal trading and they seem to
be complying," he said.
He said
that the focus will not only be on street traders, but those who use umbrellas
and people who sell corns will not be allowed to operate.
