Noting that he had provided people-oriented governance, Wike said he had introduced a revolving loan scheme for civil servants as well as an interest free monthly loan of N200 million for traders and young entrepreneurs in the state.
“We believe that we have to encourage young entrepreneurs to grow their businesses; they will have access to funds.”
He said that the loan beneficiaries must reside in Rivers State and be registered as voters in the state.
