Education
Commissioner Advises Ex-Minister To Address Issues
The Rivers State Com
missioner For Agriculture, Mr. Emma Chindah, has challenged the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Nyesome Wike, to focus his campaign on policies and programmes rather than castigating the programmes of the state government.
Mr. Chindah who said this during a courtesy call by the executive of the National Union of Ikwerre Students (NUES) said that the era of personalising the policies of Rivers State was gone.
He said that what the people of Rivers State want to hear about are programmes and policies that the former Minister of State for Education has for the state if elected and not criticising Amaechi’s Agricultural plantation, especially at a time when the country is diversifying its economy to the agricultural sector.
The commissioner also said that it would be sheer greed on the part of the Ikwerres to seek to govern Rivers State after Governor Amaechi, stressing that as a people; the Ikwerres must exhibit the spirit of accommodation by allowing other ethnic groups to govern the state.
He stressed the need for the students to champion the course of being their brothers’ keeper.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Agriculture, Mr. Emmanuel Chindah, has described the choice of Dakuku Peterside as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as good for the state.
He said that Dakuku was responsible for the numerous projects across the state during his time as commissioner for works.
Chindah listed some of the achievements of the APC governorship candidate to include the Eleme Junction interchange, the Andoni/Opobo Unity road; the Agbandele road project, the multi-billion naira Owerri/Port Harcourt road project, dualisation of the Ikwerre and Elekahia road projects amongst others.
Earlier, the President-General of the National Union of Ikwerre Students (NUES), Mr. Anele Christian, thanked the commissioner for the role he played during the union’s election and listed some challenges facing the union which include lack of vehicle amongst others.
The River State Commissioner for Education, Dr Peters Nwagor has called on media practitioners in Rivers State to deploy their various communication platforms toward promoting government programmes and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the education sector. Dr. Nwagor made the appeal when members of the Etche Ethnic Practicing Journalists (EEPJ) paid him a courtesy visit in Office in Port Harcourt. The Commissioner emphasized the strategic role of the media in shaping public perception, promoting government initiatives, and supporting policies capable of improving the quality of education and human capital development in the state. According to him, constructive media engagement remains essential in creating public awareness on educational reforms, students’ welfare, infrastructural improvements, and other interventions being implemented by the state government.
