Rivers Professionals for Wike (RIVPROW) is an aggregation of professionals in Rivers State who subscribe to the vision of His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Governor of Rivers State. It is also a platform created to mobilize support from other professionals for the Governor. It was created to enable professionals participate in the political process and to give opportunity to those who believe in and share the vision of the governor to have a place. The group was formed in acknowledgement and appreciation of the many giant strides toward development that the Governor has taken, especially in the areas of security, infrastructure, health, Education, Urban renewal, Tourism, Judiciary, Housing, etc. The Rivprow team believes that the N.E.W administration has performed remarkably well in the past 3 years and so should be encouraged, supported to seek a second term in office.
RIVPROW also celebrates the purposeful leadership, transparent governance, fiscal responsibility, and much more that the governor has brought to bear in Rivers state since he was elected governor.
The RIVPROW inaugural Summit with the theme “The New Rivers Vision – Galvanising professionals for good good governance. ” was held at Horlikins Event Center, Eastern bypass, Port Harcourt on 21st August, 2018.
The summit chairman Sir Celestine Omehia (The former governor of Rivers State) declared the top choice event opened as he urged professionals to actively participate in politics and decision making. He tasked every government to use professionals, political heads and technocrats for effective governance.
A sound welcome address was given by the RivProw convener -Hon Enemi Alabo George (the digital legislator), followed by Gov Nyesom Wike goodwill message which was given by his representative Mr Rufus N Godwin (head of civil service, Rivers state).
In his goodwil message, Mr Rufus Godwin encouraged every professional to add PVC to his/her credential achievements. “Your PVC shows you are highly professional, anyone without PVC is a disappointment to his generation. Bad leadership in every society is as a result of bad education ” -mr Rufus Godwin added. He bemoaned that the only gift that the Nigerian president came back from London is threat to jail Nigerians rather than tackling economic hardship and instability facing the country.
