Wike Recovers N1b From Staff Verification by muhammad3708(m): 3:39pm On Apr 29, 2016 |
The Rivers government has recovered about N1 billion in
its ongoing staff verification, Gov. Nyesom Wike has said.
Speaking at the first Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce
Business Luncheon in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Wike said
the recovery was achieved through the thoroughness of the
verification.
Represented by his deputy, Dr Ipalibo Harry, the governor
described the recovery as a good omen for the state,
especially in the face of dwindling revenues.
He said that the government had also reduced its overhead
expenditure to about 40 per cent as a way of adapting to
the prevailing economic reality.
Wike further said that efforts were being made to enable
the government to generate enough funds to address
infrastructural challenges.
“We are working to generate internal funds so that we can
effectively tackle infrastructural challenges in the areas of
roads, hospitals and schools.
“Such move is in keeping with our promises of ensuring
adequate social services and good governance for the
people of the state,’’ he said.
Earlier, the President of the chamber, Dr Emi Membere-
Otaji, described the country’s economy as ‘over stressed’
due to over dependence on oil.
Membere-Otaji said that there was need for governments
at all levels to carry out massive investor-enlightenment to
open up alternative areas of the economy.
“The over-dependence on oil and gas has taken the nation
backward and left the citizenry impoverished.
“The time to act is now; the citizenry and the investing
public must have the enabling environment to venture into
other investible areas,” he said. |
