The Rivers Sole Administrator, Vice Adm. Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd), has urged traditional rulers to take deliberate steps in securing government facilities within their domains.

Mr Ibas made this appeal during the combined 121st and 122nd quarterly meeting of the State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt on Friday.

He said the meeting highlighted the need for unity and collaboration between government and traditional institutions to tackle state challenges.

The sole administrator emphasised the crucial role traditional rulers play in peacebuilding and called for joint efforts to address community issues.

 He stressed the importance of securing government facilities from theft and vandalism and warned against protecting rulers involved in unrest.

Mr Ibas assured traditional rulers of his commitment to partner with them to improve the state’s prosperity and wellbeing.

The Chairman of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Chike Worlu-Wodo, praised Mr Ibas for promoting peace and development in the state.
