The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom
Wike has appealed to the British government to support his administration in
developing the State Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency.
He made the appeal while
receiving the United Kingdom Department for International Development Team in
the Niger Delta on Friday at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state
capital.
The Governor said the State
required training support for the Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency operatives.
He said: “Virtually all states in
Nigeria have security challenges. We have established the Neighbourhood Safety
Corps Agency to help the security agencies with critical information to fight
crime.
“Such information will help the
security agencies nip crimes in the bud. We need assistance for the provision
of necessary security training aids for operatives of the Neighbourhood Safety
Corps Agency“.
Wike also urged the British
Government to partner with the Rivers State Government in the area of
agricultural development.
He said: “One of our key areas of
priority is agriculture. We want to partner with you to develop all forms of
agriculture.
“This is necessary because we are
interested in using agriculture to create employment for our youths. In this
sector, we are looking at crop farming, fishery and poultry.”
