Ibok-Ete Iba, Rivers State Sole Administrator

The Rivers State Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has stated that he will ensure that the Rivers State House of Assembly complex is completed before he leaves office.

Ibas who disclosed this on Saturday during the inspection of the complex where he noted that in the last two days of assumption of duties, he had noticed a missing pillar in the State governance structure.

Ibas advised the contractor handling the State Assembly Complex project to speed up work and deliver it as mutually agreed.

He insisted that part of his mandate included restoring full and effective legislative activities in the state.

Ibas, who was accompanied by the Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Dr George Nwaeke, was conducted round the site by the General Manager of the company handling the project, Engineer Omaka Oko.

He said, “I had been at the executive arm of the State governance structure and one of the pillars that is missing for now is the legislature and for them to function effectively, they also need a place to work from.

“And perhaps, I am yet to be sure that work is going on as expected, so that by the end of the six months, this place will be ready for those who need to use it. I think basically that is what it is.

“They (contractor) have a schedule and they have timelines that I believe they will like to adhere to. I think the State has done its own bit by providing the necessary funds, I was briefed.”

He emphasised that he was appointed in the first place, to maintain law and order, which will enable the state to go back to what it is supposed to be.
