GOVERNOR Siminalayi Fubara has vowed to take decisive action against those responsible for setting ablaze three local government secretariats in the state on Monday.
He pledged that the incident, unlike previous cases, will not be ignored, as his administration will collaborate with security agencies to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable.
Governor Fubara stated this during the swearing-in ceremony of four new commissioners at the Executive Chambers of the government house in Port Harcourt.
He reminded the audience that he had previously warned the new council chairmen of possible attacks, and commended his supporters for maintaining calm during the violent confrontations.
Expressing regret that the recent political crisis has overshadowed his administration’s achievements, the governor announced plans to dedicate a day later this month to highlight these accomplishments.
In his address to the newly appointed commissioners, Governor Fubara urged them to work closely with him to advance the progress of the country amidst ongoing socio-economic challenges.
He stressed the need for increased oil production by tackling the issue of crude oil theft.
