Rivers State Governor, Mr Chibuike Amaechi, said, weekend, that his administration has restored peace to the state, despite militancy and criminality that pervaded the state before he became governor.

Governor Amaechi, who is also the chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, spoke in Port Harcourt, at a send-forth party marking the end of service for outgoing Managing Director of the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, Mr. Chima Ibeneche. He explained that security in Rivers State had greatly improved since he became governor.

He said: “We can recall that there was security crisis in Rivers State before I became governor. There was no night life. Businesses could not operate at night. But now, security has improved in the state.”

He re-assured the management of NLNG of his government’s support and readiness to a peaceful atmosphere in the state for business and investment to thrive.

Governor Amaechi praised the outgoing NLNG Managing Director for his sterling leadership qualities as well as his increased awareness and compliance with corporate governance, which made the company to succeed.

He said his administration was committed to building roads to link multinational firms and the rest of the State.
Mr. Ibeneche in his response, acknowledged that security in Rivers State had improved and commended the Amaechi administration for the achievement.
