WORST PERFORMING AGENCIES IN THE STATE.
Agencies and parastals in the state need to step up. Rivers State government is not a charity organization and therefore needs revenue to keep the State running.
There are a number of agencies in the state, receiving monthly allocation but have no significant impact on the states revenue.These non performing agencies should be given annual targets to meet. Appraisals should be carried out at intervals to keep Heads of government agencies on their toes.
Also the issue of appointment given out on merit rather than on qualifications should be looked into. We have a number of political appointees in the State, heading Agencies that they have no knowledge of.
Your Excellency Sir Siminalayi Fubara we have identified a number of agencies that need to step up on their revenue generation game, and there is therefore, a need to bring in innovative minds to spear head these agencies, if we are to become a megacity.
Over a period of 4- 5months we carried out performance appraisals and the following Agencies have performed below average.
RIVERS STATE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RSTDA)
RIVERS STATE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RIVERS STATE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
RIVERS STATE MICROFINANCE AGENCY
RIVERS STATE NEWS PAPER AGENCY
GREATER PORTHACOURT CITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
