Speaking during the commissioning, Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, said the state has recorded success in the reconstruction, equipping and staffing of health facilities under his tenure more than ever before.
Governor Fubara claimed healthcare services are increasingly becoming more accessible to all residents in the state at primary, secondary and tertiary levels to ensure a healthy society.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara maintained that these efforts were only achieved in the last six months when the state was liberated, amidst the political crisis that was triggered to distract his administration.
Governor Fubara appealed to residents in the state to be patient with the government because tenable and enduring policies are being implemented to ensure that a better society is secured for everyone.
The Oxygen Plant was jointly built and installed by the United Nations organ, UNICEF, in partnership with the Federal Government, the Rivers State Government, Canadian Government and IHS Towers.
