Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has commended the Anglican Communion, Diocese of the Niger Delta North for following the path of entrepreneurial development in the state.
Governor Wike said the Diocesan new vibrancy and energy in the areas of education, evangelism and entrepreneurship are worth emulating by other Bishops and dioceses around the country.
Wike who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, gave the commendation at the dedication and commissioning ceremony of the Church of Nigeria, Diocese of Niger Delta North Table water factory which was dedicated by His Grace, the Most Reverend Henry C. Ndukuba at Rumuigbo, Obio/Akpor area.
The Governor regretted that the educational system in the country was not properly tailored to empower the students with entrepreneurship skills, adding that this has resulted in the sea of unemployed youths now besieging the nation.
Earlier, the Bishop, Diocese of Niger Delta North, His Lordship, Reverend, Wisdom Budu-Ihunwo, said the Diocese is following the principles of the Lord Jesus Christ in enhancing the fortunes of the diocese and to occupy until He comes.
The cleric also thanked the Governor for his magnanimity and contributions to the establishment of the water factory during the 2019 Synod Thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt.
