The former Governor of Kogi state and chairman Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign council Kigi state Alhaji Ibrahim Idris , has been conferred with the award of Distinguished Service Star of Rivers State, DSSRS, by the River State governor, Nyesom Wike.
The award was presented to the former Governor of Kogi state by the governor at an event held at Rivers State’s Government House, Port Harcourt on Saturday December 3.
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, who spoke on behalf of the awardees, said governor Wike has taken governance to the next level.
“You have indeed demonstrated what it takes to be accommodative, what it takes to be a bridge builder, a builder of bridges across the Niger. You have established a bridge, we are happy crossing over to come around for the purpose of identifying with you in the expression of excellence attributed to the service of the nation, Rivers state.”
Chairman of the Rivers State Honours advisory committee, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba said the law empowers the governor to confer honour on those who have contributed to the growth and development of the State.
