\nGovernor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has expressed relief that no life was lost to Monday’s fire outbreak which damaged a section of the Rivers State Secretariat Complex.<\/p>\n
The governor at Tuesday’s inspection of the outcome of the fire declared the immediate reactivation of his planned renovation project for the State Secretariat.<\/p>\n
Gov. Fubara said, “It is really unfortunate, but we give God all the glory that no life was lost,” adding that the Secretariat has a Creche that cares for babies of civil servants which is the section that is most affected.<\/p>\n
The governor hinted that his earlier plan to undertake a comprehensive renovation of the Secretariat has become necessary with the fire incidence.<\/p>\n
“What is very important is that the renovation and refurbishing of this very foremost State Secretariat has been on the drawing board. With this particular incidence, there won’t be any reason not to continue it.<\/p>\n
“Whatever it will require this government to commence the process we will immediately swing into action. I thank the civil servants for their support. When government makes investments people don’t truly understand what they are doing.”<\/p>\n
Gov. Fubara emphasised that before the emergency rule his administration invested in the refurbishment of the fire service and wondered what would have happened if the State did not have a formidable and functional Fire Service to contain the inferno, assuring that his administration will continue to do things that will uplift Rivers people and make them happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
