The Rivers Government has donated N10 million to the State House of Assembly Premiere Red Carpet Event slated for September in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event is being packaged to honour past and serving legislators of the state who had distinguished themselves in law making.<\/p>\n
Mr Tele Ikuru, the Rivers Deputy Governor, announced the donation on Friday in Port Harcourt at a fund raising ceremony organised by the House of Assembly for the Premiere Red Carpet event.<\/p>\n
Ikuru, who commended the cordial relations existing between the executive and the legislative arms of government, also lauded the lawmakers for legislating a new pension regime for past governors and their deputies.<\/p>\n
He said it was better to appreciate past governors and their deputies when they are still living.<\/p>\n
Ikuru pledged the support and co-operation of the executive arm with the legislature to promote good governance in the state.<\/p>\n
He urged the critics to be constructive rather than embarking on frivolous and irrelevant criticisms that could not stand good reasoning.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Mr Otelemaba Amachree, the Speaker, said the lawmakers’ Red Carpet event would be used to honour hard work and excellence in legislative business.<\/p>\n
He said the event was to honour both past and serving legislators who had distinguished themselves from the first Assembly to date.<\/p>\n
Amachree said the fund raising would give opportunity to friends of the Assembly, including the multinational companies, to support it in the recognition of distinguished lawmakers. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
