Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has enumerated the steps his administration has taken to revive the state’s economy.
Mr Fubara, who spoke on Wednesday when he declared open the two-day Rivers Economic and Investment Summit, said it was sad that Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital, once revered as an established commercial centre in Nigeria, has lost its shine.
“Historically, Rivers State, especially Port Harcourt, was an established commercial centre in Nigeria. The Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout hosted several thriving commercial and industrial concerns that created income, jobs, and prosperity for our State and people.
