Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, has said the party is proud of the harvest of projects, and empowerment programmes being driven by the Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, Dame Anengi Barasua Claude-Wilcox , encouraging her to sustain the tempo of touching lives at the grassroots as it summarises what the PDP stands for.
Akawor stated this during the phase two of the flag off of projects and empowerment programmes at the Industrial Unit Field, Bonny.
Speaking through the State Party Secretary, Dr Benebo George, Akawor added that the Bonny Local Government Housing Unit which he earlier performed the groundbreaking ceremony for was a bold step towards answering to the concerns of senior government officials for improved output in governance.
Flagging off the Free School Buses, the Rivers State Commissioner for Education, Professor Prince Chinedu Nmom, who had earlier laid the foundation for the construction of an administrative complex for the Bonny Integrated Recruitment Centre, BIRC, said the LGA Boss had done well in encouraging primary education which is the most important aspect of schooling, adding that the free school buses will take off the cost of transportation from parents, save the children from road hazards and stimulate the appetite for education in them.
Delivering her remarks, the Bonny Local Government Chairman, Dame Anengi Barasua Claud-Wilcox , said the event was intended to highlight her scorecard in the last one year and hint on the activities of the council in the next phase of her administration.
