Ethnicity and Good Governance in Rivers State Uchechukwu Japheth David

The study came as a response to the underdevelopment challenges experienced by indigenes and non-indigenes of Rivers State. The study revealed that as a state, Rivers State has failed to properly manage her political relations in a manner that is characteristic of the civilized societies of the world. As such, the thesis being posited therefore, is that there is need for those who hold state offices to take drastic measures geared towards putting an end to ethnic chauvinism in the governance structure of Rivers State. This is necessarily fundamental in placing Rivers State among the category Kings in the comity of states and also reducing the incidence of ethnicity in the state's body polity.
