NCSU Applauds Fubara For Project Commissioning, Urges Assembly To Pass 2026 Appropriation Bill
The Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU), Rivers State Council, has commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara for commissioning several landmark projects initiated by his administration, despite the political challenges that have confronted the state in recent times.
The union also called on members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to expedite action on the passage of the 2026 Appropriation Bill earlier presented by the governor.
Chairman of the NCSU, Rivers State Council, Comrade Chukwuka Richman Osumah, made the position known during an interview in Port Harcourt.
Osumah said the union was pleased that the Fubara administration had continued to deliver and commission projects across the state despite the political challenges it had encountered.
He described the development as “soothing, heart-warming and commendable,” noting that the completion and commissioning of the projects demonstrated the governor’s commitment to delivering on his promises to the people of Rivers State.
According to him, it is worthy of celebration that Governor Fubara has remained focused on governance and ensured the completion of several major projects that are now being commissioned across the state.
He assured the governor of the support and solidarity of civil servants, saying members of the NCSU would continue to attend commissioning ceremonies across the state to identify with the administration and celebrate its achievements.
Osumah, who doubles as Secretary of the Joint National Public Negotiating Council(JNC), Rivers State Council, said such support was also a demonstration of the workers’ appreciation for what he described as the administration’s positive interventions in the welfare of civil servants over the past three years.
“We want to tell him boldly, clearly and in unequivocal terms that we are solidly behind him. Wherever he goes and wherever he pitches his political tent, that is where we will go. The civil servants are truly happy with him,” he said.
The NCSU chairman also commended Governor Fubara for what he described as his peaceful disposition and commitment to the welfare of workers in the state.
On the prevailing political situation in Rivers State, Osumah expressed satisfaction with the relative peace and political stability in the state, stressing that a peaceful environment was essential for meaningful development.
He therefore appealed to members of the Rivers State House of Assembly to take advantage of the current peaceful atmosphere to expedite the passage of the 2026 Appropriation Bill, and applauded them for coming to terms with the Governor.
He noted that the passage of the budget would ultimately facilitate the overall development of the State.
According to him, the passage of the budget would also provide the necessary financial framework for the governor to complete and commission other ongoing projects initiated by his administration before the end of his tenure in 2027.
While appreciating the lawmakers for accepting and receiving the Appropriation Bill for consideration, Osumah urged them to reciprocate Governor Fubara’s stated willingness to work with the Assembly and the Rainbow Coalition by giving the bill speedy consideration and passage.
He maintained that a harmonious working relationship among the executive, legislature and other stakeholders would further strengthen peace and create the right atmosphere for the continued development of Rivers State.
The NCSU chairman reiterated the union’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote workers’ welfare, peace, stability and sustainable development in the state.
