| Hon. Abinye Pepple (centre) sympathizing with victims of the fire incident at Aganya, Bonny |
Following the fire outbreak hours ago that ravaged a section of Aganya community in Bonny Local Government, the lawmaker representing Bonny Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Abinye Pepple visited the scene for an on-the-spot assessment and inspection of the extent of damage caused by the fire.
Pepple, who said he had to rush into town from Port Harcourt upon hearing of the incident, sympathized with the affected residents whose properties were destroyed by the fire.
“I heard of this ugly incident from Port-Harcourt and deemed it fit to come and see for myself, it is saddening and quite unfortunate,” he said.
He revealed that the framework for the operation of the Bonny Fire Station (BFS) was on and would be integrated into Bonny Utility Company (BUC) for optimum management.
“As a lawmaker, I can’t pay the staff or run the sustenance of BFS, that’s why the multinational companies in Bonny are being met. BFS will be handed over to the kingdom after commissioning,” he added.
The lawmaker reassured the people that “hopefully by 2019 BFS will be commissioned to optimally function in line with the vision and purpose for which it was nominated and constructed”.
