The wife of Rivers State Governor, Mrs Valerie Fubara, says she will continue to pray for peace in the state so that there will be accelerated growth and development.
She also said the administration of her husband, Siminalayi Fubara, will continue to give priority to issues of children and youths to make life better for them.
Mrs Fubara spoke at the maiden edition of the end-of-year party organised for children in the state which was held at Government House in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
She expressed delight in hosting children, whom she described as future leaders of the state and celebrating with them as part of activities to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.
She said, “As part of the determination of the present administration of Rivers State, under the guidance of my darling husband, the welfare and well-being of our children and other Rivers people are paramount.”
Mrs Fubara urged parents to continue to devote quality time to nurturing their children so that they can grow into becoming responsible citizens.
She added, “About parents, we must continue to do those things that are right before God and man in bringing up our children for the benefit of the larger society.
“For us, we will continue to do our best to pray for peace in our state so that there will be accelerated growth and development for the benefit of the people.”
