The Chairman of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area in Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Aboiya-a Bob-Fubara, on Wednesday commissioned several infrastructure projects to mark his first 100 days in office, pledging continued community-driven development.
Speaking during the well-attended ceremony on December 31, 2025, Bob-Fubara described the milestone as evidence of purposeful leadership and responsive governance.
He attributed his administration’s early successes to the mentorship of key stakeholders, including Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, Hon. Chief Major M. Jack, and former Governor Chief Nyesom Wike.
“I remain committed to sustaining and expanding people-oriented projects across our communities,” Bob-Fubara told the mammoth crowd. He assured residents that commissioned projects would be properly maintained, emphasising accountability and value for public funds.
The chairman also reiterated his support for President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that effective grassroots governance is key to national development.
He thanked supporters, including Vice Chairman Mrs. Warigbani George, the legislative assembly leader Daye Bob-Manuel, councillors, traditional rulers, clergymen, women, youths, and political leaders for their cooperation.
