Ibok-Ete Ibas, the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, has announced the release of withheld local government allocations.

Speaking during a meeting with Heads of Local Government Administrators in Port Harcourt, Ibas assured that necessary steps will be taken to ensure the prompt payment of workers’ salaries.

He described the gathering as a pivotal moment in the collective effort to restore stability and progress in the state.

The Sole Administrator lamented the economic hardship in the Niger Delta, noting that despite the region’s wealth of natural resources, its people continue to suffer.

However, he warned that financial accountability would be strictly enforced.

Ibas, a retired vice admiral and former Chief of Naval Staff, directed all local government areas to submit their wage bills, supported by relevant documentation, through the office of the Head of Service.

He said his administration will not tolerate financial recklessness, vowing to scrutinize the handling of public funds and take action against any mismanagement.

Ibas said good governance is not just a slogan, but a commitment to changing the negative narrative within the next six months.

He further stressed the importance of collaboration with traditional rulers and security agencies to enhance security at the grassroots level.

“You must take the lead in ensuring security within your domains,” he urged local government administrators.
