RIvers Governor Siminalayi Fubara has insisted that nothing will distract his administration from giving the people the best that will improve the quality of life in the State
Fubara spoke shortly after inspecting the premises and structures of the Zonal Hospital, Degema Town in Degema Local Government Area on Saturday.
The Governor noted the absence of a befitting healthcare facility in the area but said that the right steps were being taken to address the situation.
Fubara emphasised that his administration was giving greater attention to issues of healthcare, education and agriculture to enable people access quality services from the key sectors.
The Governor said: “We are here this afternoon, just like what happened yesterday and if you could remember, I said part of our areas of concern, going forward, will be healthcare services.
“And yesterday, I did mention that we were on inspection to check the Bori Zonal Hospital covering that particular senatorial district, and will also go and see those in Degema, Ahoada and Omoku.
“But, we are here in Degema today to assess the level of work ongoing. As you can see, we don’t have a befitting and standard healthcare facility here. And that is why we need to put this place in order to make it standard.”
The Governor added: “Part of the areas that have just been explained to me on my visit this afternoon is the area earmarked for staff quarters: doctors and nurses; areas that will be used to develop a modern mortuary and a laundry, because a medical facility must have a standard laundry.
“So, they have also shown me what they are doing, and the foundation for the laundry that is also almost completed”.
Fubara assured the people that they would not only get critical road infrastructures but will also be given other social amenities and services.
He said: “Like I said, my target for 2025 is going to be healthcare, education and agriculture. This is just the start. We are here to assure our people that no matter what it is, we still have our eyes on the ball.
“I will urge the good people of Degema to continue to support us; that this government is purposeful and understands the needs of the people,” he added.
He assured the people of Degema, Kalabari Kingdom that his administration would not compromise quality service delivery and good governance and that it would not disappoint the people who voted for him to govern the state.
