Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, the governor of Rivers State, has urged all citizens to “put the interests of Rivers State first” in all their conduct.
In order to honor the 58th anniversary of Rivers State’s creation, Vice Admiral Ibas appealed during a thanksgiving service held at the Ecumenical Centre in Port Harcourt.
He expressed confidence in the state’s ability to overcome the country’s current difficulties and become stronger, more united, and more determined.
The administrator acknowledged the state’s steady development, but added that more needs to be done, particularly in developing access to high-quality education, training young people with relevant skills, and creating transparent and inclusive public institutions.
He believes that all communities should experience development as a privilege rather than a privilege for a select few.

He also urged religious leaders to practice as moral pillars and defenders of the truth.
He urged teachings that emphasize love, unity, integrity, and hope, saying, “Let your pulpit be an altar of healing.”
The administrator said that when he considered the significance of the anniversary, one should put the emphasis on both preserving the past and preparing for a future that inspires character and integrity.
Among others, the Chief Judge of the State, the Secretary to the State Government, the Acting Head of Service, service leaders, paramilitary agency heads, local government administrators, and traditional rulers, were present at the service.
