Addressing Challenges and Building a Legacy

Governor Fubara noted that his administration has faced several distractions from what he termed “self-styled adversaries” who aim to destabilize the state’s governance. However, he reaffirmed his resolve to remain focused on delivering quality governance that will be remembered for its positive impact.

“We will continue to do the best we can for our people. At the end of the day, what people want to see is the mark we have made, not the level of distraction we have faced,” Fubara stated.

He stressed the importance of building a good name and legacy, adding that the actions of today’s leaders will reflect in history. “When our names are mentioned in the future, it should be met with respect and recognition of good deeds. That is the greatest legacy anyone can leave behind,” the governor said.

Commending POWA’s Efforts

Fubara commended the efforts of POWA, particularly its support for the widows of fallen officers and its ongoing community initiatives. He also expressed appreciation to Mrs. Egbetokun and the leadership of POWA for commissioning the new POWA Shopping Complex in Port Harcourt, noting that the facility will empower women and provide economic opportunities for members of the association.

In her remarks, Mrs. Egbetokun expressed gratitude to Governor Fubara for his continuous support to POWA and the police command. She highlighted that POWA’s mission is to support police officers’ families and provide lifelines for widows, and she acknowledged the governor’s generosity as a vital component in achieving these goals.

The visit was part of POWA’s ongoing tour to inspect projects and assess the welfare of its members across the country. The newly inaugurated shopping complex in Port Harcourt is expected to serve as a hub for empowerment and economic growth for police officers’ wives in the state.

Governor Pledges Continued Support to Police

Governor Fubara reiterated his commitment to supporting the police force in Rivers State and called on CP Disu to inform him of any areas requiring further assistance. He described Disu as a diligent and dedicated officer and pledged to ensure that the police have the resources needed to maintain peace and security in the state.

“What is important is that we keep building a state where our children can proudly mention our names and receive positive responses. That is the legacy I intend to leave behind,” Fubara concluded.
