This important initiative promotes staff wellness, enhances productivity, and strengthens institutional synergy among agencies under the Federal Ministry of Education.

The Rivers State Government is delighted to host the 6th Edition of FEDUGAM, reaffirming its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote development, collaboration, and national integration.

Sports possess the unique power to unite people, foster teamwork, and inspire healthy competition. In this regard, I urge all athletes, participating agencies, and stakeholders to deepen their support for the Games through stronger collaboration, increased financial backing, and sustained institutional commitment to ensure the continued success and growth of the Federal Education Sector Games (FEDUGAM).

I wish all participants a successful, memorable, and rewarding competition.

Wearing a smile yesterday, I took pride in the strong and vibrant representation of Rivers women at the National Women Mega Empowerment and Rally 2026, themed “The Power of 10 Million: One Voice, One Movement, One Choice.”

The remarkable turnout of women from all 36 states at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium achieved more than just a gathering, it fostered unity of purpose and strengthened a shared national vision. Beyond unifying the platform, the rally stands as a high-impact national intervention designed to deliver tangible empowerment outcomes for women across the country.

It underscores a deliberate effort to mobilize women at large, consolidate nationwide support for inclusive development and promote social cohesion. This collective movement aligns with and reinforces the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, alongside the steadfast advocacy and leadership of Her Excellency, Oluremi Tinubu, CON, whose commitment to the welfare and advancement of Nigerian women continues to inspire hope and progress.

On behalf of the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, I joined the Workers’ Day celebration with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), Rivers State Chapter, at Isaac Boro Park, Port Harcourt.

Our administration remains committed to fostering a supportive work environment, prioritizing the welfare of workers across the state. Workers' dedication and contributions are essential to effective governance.

Our administration remains firmly committed to policies and initiatives that promote quality healthcare delivery, encourage investment in the health sector, and create an enabling environment for medical practitioners to thrive.

At the funeral service held yesterday in honour of the revered monarch and Amanyanabo of Opobo Kingdom, His Majesty King Dr. Dandeson Douglas Jaja, Jeki V, CFR, DSSRS, we gathered in solemn reflection and tribute.

In the company of the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara, and other eminent citizens of our dear state and beyond, we paid our last respects as he journeyed to eternal rest.

The service offered a moment to reflect on a life of honour, defined by calmness, dignity, and unwavering strength even in the face of adversity. His was a life truly worthy of emulation.

We will forever remember him for his grace, remarkable composure, and fatherly leadership. During his proactive and impactful reign, I was honoured with the title of Balolo of Opobo Kingdom, a privilege I will always cherish.

Journey well, my King.
