The Governor’s vision for a safer Rivers State is evident in his focus on providing the fire service with the resources and equipment necessary to address the growing challenges posed by fire outbreaks and other disasters.
This newly refurbished station is one of three fire service stations rehabilitated by the current administration, with plans for further improvements across the state to ensure effective and efficient emergency response. The rehabilitation efforts will not only help in curbing the frequency and intensity of fire disasters but will also enhance the capacity of the fire service to save lives and properties during emergencies.
Governor Fubara’s administration has made significant strides in improving public safety, with infrastructure projects like these aimed at bolstering the state’s emergency services, providing better protection to residents, and ensuring the overall well-being of the people of Rivers State.
The commissioning ceremony is expected to be attended by various stakeholders, including government officials, fire service personnel, and members of the public, all of whom will witness firsthand the advancements made in ensuring a safer, more resilient Rivers State.
As the Governor continues his efforts to strengthen the state’s emergency infrastructure, the commissioning of the rehabilitated Mile 1 Fire Service Station stands as a testament to the administration’s commitment to public safety and disaster preparedness in Rivers State.
