He said: "We are happy that this peer review conference is taking place here. This will give all participants the opportunity to see first hand that Rivers State is safe.

"There is no need to politicise security and governance. We should see political parties as vehicles to take us to a destination. Thereafter, the focus should be governance. We cannot play politics endlessly ".

He charged the Chairmen and Commissioners of National and States Assembly Service Commissions to place the interest of the country above partisan consideration.

In his remarks, Executive Chairman of National Assembly Service Commission, Dr Adamu Fika praised Governor Wike for the support to the Rivers State Assembly Service Commission, which has enabled the commission build a befitting office complex and develop needed facilities.
