The Rivers State Government has said that it would continue to spend money on projects that would contribute positively to the development of the state.
The State Governor, Nyesom Wike disclosed this when he approved the proposal for the remodelling and renovation of one of the state-owned schools, Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Borikiri, Port Harcourt.
Wike who received the proposal submitted by the President of the Old Boys Association of the school, Dr. Noble Abe at Government House, Port Harcourt, commended the association for it’s determination to work with the government
He assured that work will begin at the facility immediately as he directed the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Kaniye Ebeku to work with the association for the realisation of the project.
“You have shown passion with your commitment to see that your former school is restored. What you are doing is not for yourselves but for the interest of the entire State,” he said.
“If the immediate past administration which spent N4 billion naira to build one school had paid attention to old schools we will not be talking about remodelling now,” he added.
President of the Old Boys Association, Dr. Noble Abe in his remarks said the proposal contained what they believe would assist the government to restore the school. He also commended the governor for his infrastructural achievements in the state.
