 A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC and River State, Senator Magnus Abbey, has urged governments at all levels to invest in securing opportunities for citizens towards tackling insecurity and other socio-economic challenges in Nigeria. The former senator representing River Southeast Senatorial District set this at a one-day workshop organized by Freedom House and Associated Advisory Services in Port Harcourt, the state capital. The one-day workshop has as a theme the importance of investment, economic and political implications in river states. Speaking at the event, Senator Abbey stressed that if people are busy with their genuine sources of livelihood, there would be peace and stability in the society. Abbey said that no government can achieve a meaningful development without commitment to present management of resources. The governorship aspirant to River State, Magnus Abbey, declared that if he is eventually elected to form a government in River State, his administration will prioritize creation of opportunities that will empower citizens to make wealth. Facilitators at the workshop said there is the need for people to think outside the box towards legitimate wealth creation and stop depending on government or using politics as source of livelihood in order to be useful to themselves, the community, the state and the country at large. If people know that when they enter into an agreement with another person to do something and the person doesn't do it or the person takes their money, they don't need another money to get the government to take action and deliver judgment of able to recover their money or punish the person who has wronged them, a lot of businesses that fail will not fail. And that is why by the grace of God when we work together and we create a government here in River State that serves the people of River State. It's not necessary for you to have money, you have millions, you have billions before you can create wealth or create investment. It's very important to start even on a micro level so that you develop yourself. If you can invest on your own no matter how little the capital is, there is no way you will not make profit. That is the essence of this workshop to enlighten the community. Senator Abbey advised participants to develop business ideas as without funds no government can thrive in any society.
