He said the state government is now working tirelessly to deliver quality services and signature infrastructure projects in line with his administration’s people first mantra.
Governor Fubara made the declaration at the thanksgiving reception organised by the Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom, King Ateke Tom, to celebrate his 60th birthday, which was held at his residence in Okochiri Town, Okrika Local Government Area.
Fubara noted with delight, that King Ateke Tom is not merely celebrating with drinks and foods distributed to friends but has included God in the event with an expression of gratitude to Him for the blessings bestowed on him.
The governor stated how in contemporary times, life expectancy continues to reduce because of lifestyle changes and other exposures like the effect of modern technology, which makes attaining 60 a lofty feat.
The governor said looking at the life and time of King Ateke Tom, one will understand that death had moved around him, and it, therefore, is a miracle for him to have lived this long.
He stressed that it must have been possible for him to have come this far by God’s providence, adding that it is only for that reason that it is worth celebrating.
