A state as rich as Rivers should never struggle to create prosperity for its people. We are blessed with natural resources, strategic waterways, an industrious population, fertile lands, and enormous economic potential. Yet, for too many of our people, opportunity remains distant, businesses struggle to survive, and the promise of prosperity has not translated into the quality of life our people deserve. This is where the RESET must begin. We must move from an economy that depends largely on government spending to one that empowers people to produce, create, innovate, employ, and thrive. Our small businesses must become engines of growth. Our agricultural communities must become centres of productivity. Our waterways must become corridors of commerce. Our young people must find opportunity not merely in seeking employment, but in building enterprises that employ others. Government must become an enabler of wealth creation, not a bottleneck to it. For me, resetting the economy of Rivers State means unlocking the productive capacity of our people, expanding access to capital, rebuilding infrastructure that serves commerce, and creating an environment where enterprise is rewarded and hard work is meaningful. The wealth of Rivers State must be felt beyond the corridors of power. It must be felt in the homes of our people, in the growth of our businesses, in the opportunities available to our young people, and in the dignity of every working family. Rivers State cannot continue to measure its greatness by the wealth beneath its soil while ignoring the potential within its people. We must reset the economy. We must restore prosperity. We must build a Rivers State where opportunity is not a privilege, but a possibility for all. Rivers State belongs to the people and Rivers State must work. #DLBLegcay #RiversStateBelongsToThePeople #ResetRiversState #ResetEconomy #NDCDLB2027
