Dumo Lulu-Briggs Promises Disciplined Governance for Rivers

Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the governorship candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Rivers State, announced his commitment to disciplined management of public funds if elected governor in 2027. During a media event in Buguma City, he outlined his vision for the state, emphasizing the importance of a budget that supports essential public services, infrastructure development, and private investment in commercial projects.

Lulu-Briggs stressed the need for environmental protection, addressing issues faced by riverine and urban communities, such as pollution and flooding. He highlighted Rivers State's potential, citing its human resources, energy, gas, ports, and waterways, and expressed a desire to transform these assets into reliable power and economic growth.
