Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to financial discipline, insisting that prudent management of public resources remains central to his leadership.

He disclosed that before the period of emergency rule, over ₦300 billion was reserved in the state’s accounts, adding that he met about ₦600 billion on his return.

Fubara assured that within six months, his administration would present verifiable records showing how public funds are being deployed.

The Governor spoke during the commissioning of the 14.2-kilometre Obodhi–Ozochi Road linking communities in Ahoada East and Ahoada West Local Government Areas.

Fubara dismissed claims of financial mismanagement, attributing them to his preference for executing projects without elaborate public flag-off ceremonies. He noted that several projects are ongoing across the state.

He explained that the road project, initiated under his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, was expanded by an additional 4.2 kilometres due to its importance, bringing its total length to 14.2 kilometres, and added that the construction of internal roads in the community has been approved.

The Governor charged Edison Ehie to convert the turnout at the commissioning into sustained political support for President Bola Tinubu, stressing that visible infrastructure development reflects responsible and transparent governance.
