The Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, (Retired), said that an appropriation bill for 2025 is being articulated to provide for critical development concerns in healthcare delivery, education, agriculture and infrastructure.
Ibas made this known when he played host to the delegation of Rivers State caucus at the National Assembly, at Government House in Port Harcourt.
The administrator said that the anticipated budget will cater to creating more employment opportunities for Rivers people and advance delivery of technology in critical facets of public life.
He stated that the commitment is to make Rivers a model of peace in the comity of States, with a stable economy and citizens courageous to pursue their livelihood without fear or molestation.
He sued for their assistance in securing the necessary resources and legislative backing that would bring the initiative of his administration to fruition.
The leader of caucus and senator representing Rivers South-East District, Barinada Mpigi, while commending the administrator for the successes achieved so far, pledged their support and cooperation in ensuring that law and order is restored in the state.
