Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara celebrated Eid-el-Fitr by meeting with a delegation from the Muslim Ummah, led by Alhaji Nasir Uhor, Vice President General of the Rivers State Council for Islamic Affairs. During this meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara emphasized his administration's dedication to safeguarding the lives and property of all citizens, including those from the Muslim community, reflecting a broader commitment to inclusivity and harmony within the diverse population of Rivers State.

The visit by the Muslim delegation included clerics and leaders from the Arewa Community in Rivers State who came to pay homage and celebrate the end of Ramadan with the governor. Fubara’s remarks highlighted that every resident of Rivers State, irrespective of their origin or faith, is deemed a key member of the community, further stressing the need for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect among all cultural and religious groups. This approach fosters unity in the state amidst Nigeria’s multi-religious society.

Such initiatives are crucial in ensuring stability and peace, especially in regions where religious and ethnic tensions can occasionally arise. Fubara's commitment to protecting all citizens and promoting civic responsibility is expected to strengthen communal ties and encourage more inclusive governance, which is pivotal for the state's socio-economic development as it continues to navigate its complex demographic landscape.
