Rivers – The Rivers State Government has sent a strong message to investors and development partners: the door is wide open for collaborations that will drive economic growth and empower young people.
Speaking at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Sunday, the State Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, assured that Rivers State is committed to creating a business-friendly environment that supports sustainable investments.

He added that education and sports are key pillars in the government’s broader plans to develop human capital and strengthen social ties.
In his remarks, USOSA President-General, Michael Ibrahim Magaji, thanked the State Government for its warm reception and appealed for more support to upgrade facilities in Unity Schools across Rivers State. Vice Admiral Ibas responded positively, promising to review their request.
