Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Mrs. Valerie Siminalayi Fubara has urged Rivers people to maintain peace in the state.
Mrs. Fubara made the call yesterday, at the maiden edition of the end of year party organised for children in the state.
The wife of the governor said the administration of her husband would continue to give priority attention to issues of children and youths in order to make life better for them.
Mrs Fubara expressed delight for hosting Rivers children, which she described as future leaders of the state, and celebrate with them as part of activities to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.
“As part of the determination of the present administration of Rivers State, under the guidance of my darling husband, the welfare and well-being of our children and other Rivers people are paramount,” she said.
Mrs Fubura urged parents to continue to devote quality time to nurturing their children so that they can grow into becoming responsible citizens.
“As parents, we must continue to do those things that are right before God and man in bringing up our children for the benefit of the larger society.
“For us, we will continue to do our best to pray for peace in our State so that there will be accelerated growth and development for the benefit of the people.”
