Yobana, while donating the bus, urged the group to effectively utilize the vehicle to mobilize women in support of the rapid developmental initiatives championed by the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara.
The council chairman commended the governor’s peaceful disposition amidst all distractions and thanked him for flagging off the reconstruction of the Bori Zonal Hospital, which he said was almost ready for commissioning.
He disclosed plans for some major projects to be embarked from Monday in the LGA, including the construction of additional schools to improve the standard of education in the LGA.
Speaking earlier, the State Coordinator and founder of RWUS, Hon. Sotonye Toby-Fulton, harped on peace-building, noting that women and children are the worst victims whenever there is a crisis.
She urged women in the State to ensure peace in their various LGAs and also support Governor Fubara in his drive to develop the State.
She said, “Governor Fubara’s administration upholds the mantra of ‘Rivers First’ and is committed to involving everyone, especially women and children, in all the constituencies.”
Fulton conveyed the best wishes of the governor’s wife, Dame Valerie Fubara, to the women, and urged them to pray for the success of the governor in office.
Speaking during the vote of thanks, the convener, Chief (Mrs) Charity Deemua, thanked members of the SIMplified Movement and RWUS for travelling down to Khana LGA to inaugurate the chapter while also thanking Amb. Yobana for donating a bus to the Khana chapter of the movement.
