“When I resumed office as Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, in the course of my research, we found out that Opobo has what it takes to attract tourists into not only Rivers State, but Nigeria.

“So, we came as a ministry for you to avail us the opportunity to see the various tourist sites in  Opobo for us to convert it into reality.”

Responding, the traditional ruler of Opobo Kingdom, King Dandeson Douglas-Jaja, said the people of Opobo Kingdom are ready to work with the state government towards reviving the Opobo International Boat Racing and Regatta Festival.

Douglas-Jaja commended Fubara’s commitment to focusing more on the cultural heritage of the people of the state.
