Rivers State Governor, Barr. Nyesom Wike, has gifted members of the state assembly, with brand new Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), less than 48 hours after the lawmakers passed its budget.

While receiving the gifts at government house, Port Harcourt, the lawmakers commended the governor and promised to continue working closely with him.
Ikuinyi Ibani, the speaker, thanked Wike for giving priority to the welfare of lawmakers.
“The governor handed to us, keys of official cars that belong to members of the State Assembly. This is how it should be and we are very grateful to him for providing such leadership and ensuring that members’ welfare are always given priority. Members shall continue to give meaningful contribution in their service and their productivity will be higher,” he said.
