Fubara: My Team Members Don’t Suffer High Blood Pressure, Hospitalised over FearBlessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt 

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, yesterday, appreciated the need for conducive internal work environment, and explained that since his inception in office, none of his cabinet members had suffered high blood pressure or hospitalised because they were afraid of him
He said greater efficiency and effectiveness had been achieved in governance, because he created a conducive work environment deliberately to enable members of cabinet and every officer of government to function maximally.
Fubara spoke at the Thanksgiving Service organised in honour of the State Secretary to the Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, at the St. Paul’s Nyemoni Lutheran Cathedral in Abonnema Town, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area.
He maintained that he knew that the quest for greater productivity he desired could not be achieved in a toxic workplace of tension, anxiety and fear, which often heightened underlining health conditions of the workforce.
Fubara explained that as a good administrator, he did not stampede members of his team and workers before eliciting the best from them but has continued to create such atmosphere wherein he related with them cordially to achieve shared goals and necessary objectives of government to advance the State.
He stated that SSG was severely compelled to resign from his government by his detractors, but praised him for refusing the antics.
“He is telling you the story of how he was re-appointed. I don’t know why he didn’t add the story that he was also compelled, given ultimatum, to resign. 
“It takes a man, who believes in something; it takes a man who is honourable and has integrity to stand by you. I want to say that this administration that I am leading will stand by you. 

“You don’t need to worry about the BP drugs again because I don’t intend to give anyone BP. There is no Commissioner here that has BP. Before, you people used to have BP, but now, there is no BP. There is no Permanent Secretary that was always lying in the hospital and is still lying in hospital now because there is no BP.”
