Mr Fubara, a former accountant general of the state who became governor in May 2023, said his administration has raised the monthly IGR of the state from N12 billion that he met on assumption of office to N27 billion, which amounts to an increase of over 100 per cent. Governor Fubara further told the federal lawmakers that he inherited the challenges of non-promotion of civil servants for 11 years, suggesting that the immediate-past governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, did not conduct promotion exercise for workers in the state throughout his eight years in office.
In 2021 Rivers State IGR stood at N123.3 giving an average of N10.3 billion and in 2020, the state IGR was N117.2 billion while that of 2019 was N169.6 billion. The governor during the meeting told the lawmakers that his administration was deploying the resources for the well-being of the people to reduce societal ills, emphasising that he was prioritising education, healthcare and agriculture.
The people around the Elele-Egbeda-Omoku Road, Mr Egobueze said, would feel the impact of oil production and extraction in their zone and reduce the stress of conveying agricultural produce from the area to the city.
