Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike on Monday, said he will support policies of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration if such policies will impact positively on the people of Rivers State.
Wike said this at the Government House, Port Harcourt, during an interaction with the Local Study Group from the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.
The governor said that his primary focus is to work for the good of Rivers People.
He noted that he will not use his office for unnecessary politicking, pointing out that good policies transcend party affiliation.
“I will support any policy of the Federal Government that will enhance the living standard of the people of Rivers State. It doesn’t matter who initiated such policy as long as it favours our people”.
The Governor urged the Federal Government to find ways to implement the recommendations of different NIPPS study teams especially as they relate to poverty alleviation.
He said the Rivers State Government will support the NIPPS study team in carrying out their research into poverty alleviation in the state.
Director of Studies and Leader of Delegation of the Study Group of NIPPS , Prof Celestine Oyom Bassey, said that the team was in the state to carry out an assessment of the impact of poverty alleviation programmes in the state.
The team later held an interactive session with top officials of the Rivers State Government.
