Reflecting on the past two years of his administration, the governor said the period had been challenging, but noted that his government is stepping into the new year with hope and faith.

He urged residents of the state to remain calm and unperturbed by unsettling reports of war, assuring them that his administration remains focused on advancing the interests of Rivers State.
